I'm attempting to install SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 64 bit. I am running Windows 7, 64 bit. I already have SQL Server 2008 R2 64 bit installed on my system.
1) First I tried via Windows Update. I'm already caught up on all other required and all other desired optional updates. When I try to run this update, it fails with this message:
Code 84BC051B Windows Update encountered an unknown error.
When I click "Get help with this error" and "Open the Windows Update Troubleshooter", and progress through the troubleshooter, then it claims to fix something ("Repair Windows Update components - Fixed" and tells me to retry the update, and when I simply click to Try Again, it says "Windows is up to date - There are no updates available for your computer".
But then if I click to find updates online, it still finds the update for SQL Server R2 SP1 among the available optional updates.
2) Second, I tried downloading an executable to install. When I run the executable, I get this error:
"SQLServer2008SP1-KB968369-x64-ENU.exe is not a valid Win32 application"
Any idea what is going on?
Thanks!
