PROBLEM

I am unable to upgrade a 32-bit SQL Server 2005 Express SP3 installation to SP4. When I attempt to, the installer bypasses the engine stating, "The edition of product instance MSSQLSERVER does not qualify for this update." in the associated upgrade log.

BACKGROUND

The version and edition of SQL Server I'm working with:

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.4035.00 (Intel X86) 
Nov 24 2008 13:01:59 
Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation
Express Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)

The following is a portion of my upgrade summary (...\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix\Summary.txt):

ACTIONS ATTEMPTED

I've tried deploying the following service pack files on this machine:

  • SQLServer2005SP4-KB2463332-x86-ENU.exe
  • SQLEXPR.EXE
  • SQLEXPR32.EXE

NOTE: For the last two, I've called the setup utility from the commandline with the upgrade option e.g.,:

SQLEXPR32.exe /qb UPGRADE=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=OBFUSCATED

I'm lost. How can something so stupidly easy be so #$%&!@ complicated!
