hi Tim,

I think you must be applying wrong patch / update. Make sure for 86 (32 bit) or 64 bit versions.
Please update the forum with your result.

Thanks.

Anyone ever find a resolution for the “There are no SQL Server instances or shared features that can be updated on this computer.” message? I’m attempting to apply the latest Cumulitave update number 7 and am running into that. I cannot sleect any features to upgrade after starting the CU update package.

Thanks!

Tim

Hi Pinal,

I have tried to apply CU2 and CU3 on SQL Server 2008 SP1, but all the time I am getting this error:

“There are no SQL Server Instances or shared features that can be updated on this computer”

I have both the default instance and named instance, but both are not detected by the CU installer.

Could you please help me ASAP.

Thanks in adv. for your time.

2 years! Not sure where you have that number from, but I’m pretty sure RTM was around 6th August 2008, less than a year ago :)
