Just seeing if anyone has any ideas on this one, having recently had to change my laptop due to unforseen reasons. I have got one with Vista home premium and having downloaded the SQL Server 2005 service pack sp2 X86 version for the 32 bit system I then installed the default instance of SQL Server 2005 and then on running the service pack it appears with the message

“Service pack not for a 32 bit system”

Can’t understand this as the laptop is the same spec as the old one and it worked fine on that one

Any Ideas as all the others available on the Website are for 64 bit systems?

Did you happen to go through readme file? It clearly suggets the exe to be used for 32 bit.
