To upgrade to the SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2, do I need to uninstall the SP1 first or can I simply apply the SP2 on top of it?

*******************************************************************************************

Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types requires the .NET Framework version 2.0 or 3.0 or 3.5 or 4.0. Ensure that this requirement is fulfilled before installing Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types.

Action ended 8:18:59: CA_ErrorPrereqDotNet20Or30Or35Or40. Return value 3.

*******************************************************************************************

BUT, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 are all installed. Any ideas?

not exactly true – if you’ve installed latest CU for SQL Server 2008R2 SP1 you should wait 1-2 weeks till the CU#1 for SQL Server 2008R2 SP2 is released as the latest 2 CU for SP1 are not included in SP2.

Thanks for the heads up, and I completely agree patching is critical. I’m one of the subscribers to the approach of delaying in adopting a new SQL version until it has been out for a while or getting with with its first SP.
