SQL Server 2005 Express edition, SP3 update for Windows 7

  • Article

On June 23rd, we will publish the Express SQL Server 2005 SP3 updates for Windows 7 through Microsoft Update.  This is just a change in the detection logic to offer to a Windows 7 system. The SQL Server 2005 SP3 packages that have already been released to Microsoft Update and the Microsoft download center are unchanged.

 

These Express updates are affected:

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 3 (KB955706)
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services Service Pack 3 (KB955706)
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit Service Pack 3 (KB955706)      

As usual, these updates will be available through Windows Automatic Update.

    Our application uses Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express and it was is with the installer using bootstraper.  But now when we want to install it on windows 7 it complains that we should install sp3. How can I package sp3 using bootstrapper? Can I use the same instruction that you have provided for sp2?
