SQL Server 2005 SP1 installs successfully but Microsoft update still showing it as needed?

I have successfully installed SQL Server 2005 SP1 but when I go to the "Microsoft Update" site it is still shown as required. I have tried going back to an old image of the PC and installing SQL Server 2005 and SP1 again but still the "Microsoft Update" page is not picking up the fact that SP1 has installed successfully. Anyone had the same problem or know of a fix

Steve

    Hi,

    don’t know if that applies to your problem, but I would make sure that you also install the post SP1 hotfix which fixed many problems that occured in the SP1.

    The detection logic uses values in the registry to determine if the update is applicable. For me to investigate, please email me at petersad@microsoft.com your SQL Server registry keys and the windowsupdate.log file. The SP1 detection does not look for the SP1 post QFE since this QFE was not posted to Microsoft Update.

    Steps to export registry keys:

    1. Open the registry by running "regedit" at the command prompt.

    2. Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server registry key and right-click and choose export.

    3. Change the extension, and then email me the contents.

    Steps to obtain WindowsUpdate.log:

    1. Delete the windowsupdate.log file at %windir%

    2. Rescan for updates on Microsoft Update

    3. Send me the new windowsupdate.log file

    Thanks,

    Peter Saddow
