Server Configuration
Windows 2008 with SP1, Sharepoint, Visual studio 2008 installed and DOT NET 3.5

I Installed SQL Server 2005 on Windows Server Enterprise 2008 Service pack 1, 32 bit server and its Stand alone

Installation went through fine with out any errors and checked the services

SQL Server FullText Search (MSSQLSERVER)

SQL Server VSS Writer

Were not started then got to know in the KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936302 which stats need to install SP2 to resolve this issue.



When I installed SQL Server Service pack 2, it got failed for only database services and all others was success.



Product : Database Services (MSSQLSERVER)

Product Version (Previous): 1399

Product Version (Final) :

Status : Failure

Log File : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix\SQL9_Hotfix_KB921896_sqlrun_sql.msp.log

Error Number : 1920

Error Description : MSP Error: 1920 Service 'SQL Server VSS Writer' (SQLWriter) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.



Then I got the link http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlsetupandupgrade/thread/bceb63ca-760b-4766-b2d6-9abfe2fd0f77



But was not useful as the components was upgraded to SP2



When I tried starting SQL Server VSS Writer I got the following error, I started using the local system account and with admin user also
