SP3 installs without any errors, however, the version of SQL server is still 9.00.3042 when it should be 9.00.4035. I looked at the properties for sqlservr.exe and the version is 2005.90.3042.0. It doesn't seem to be upgrading to the latest SP.

I just try to run

Security Update for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 (KB954606)

and get this error:

This machine does not have a product that matches this installation package.

Think this problem is related?

Figured out the problem. It seems that the WMI was messed up. So I ran

rundll32 wbemupgd, RepairWMISetup

and this fixed that problem. Next, I repaired SQL server by running

setup.exe REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALDATABASE=1 REINSTALLMODE=omus

Rebooted and was able to apply SP3 no problem.

Thanks.
