I have inherited a SBS 2003 server at my new job that had many issues. I have finally gotten the server cleaned up for the most part, but I cannot seem to get SQL 2005 SP4 and SQL 2008 SP3 to install. I have followed the KB on restoring missing cache and windows installer files, I have tried to run repairs and everything I try fails . We have several databases in SQL that run our production floor, and I need to resolve these errors.
Here is the summary.txt from SQL 2008
Overall summary:Final result: The patch installer has failed to update the shared features. To determine the reason for failure, review the log files.

Exit message: Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture. Make sure "Errors.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "Microsoft.SqlServer.Discovery" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed.

I beleive that Both 2008 and 2005 are unable to find their proper source code from the installations, unfortunately I have none of the original media that these programs were installed with. I do have the license\product key for SQL 2008, but no where to download that particular version of the product with. Please let me know if there are more log files that are needed to help narrow down this issue. Any help is greatly appreciated.
