Installing MSDE SP3 to Win98 causes an error.

Ok I have an MSI file that installs an instance of the MSDE. I recently updated my install to used the SP3 MSMs of the MSDE. I have the installation working correctly on XP. However it fails rather quickly on install to Win98. I will paste the log file of the failure below.

To create the installation I used the VisualStudio installer. Afte the installtion I use ORCA and edit the MSI with the following values in the property table.

ProductLanguage = 1033
SqlBlankPwd = 1
SqlSecurityMode = SQL

No special actions are being used by my installer. Yet according to MS the reason for my error is that I am using a special action with a non-c++ dll (KB Article (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B306627)) . I am guessing that this is something that MS is doing. Has anyone else gotten a successful install of SP3 onto Win98? Any info would be helpful.

Installation of SQL server 2005 SP1

Hi,

We have the Windows server 2003 R2 Service PAck 2 , we got updated to this version after i installed automatic updates today,and i am having problems with setting up maintenance plan in SQL server 2005 (9.0.1399)

Hence i am trying to install Sql server 2005 SP1, but the read me file says that this installation is compatible only with Windows server 2003 SP1

Also, i received this error when i tried to install SQL server 2005 SP1 yesterday

"The image file hotfix.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine"

I am confused, Can someone help me out in this regard?

Thanks in advance

The second part of the post (valid for another type of machine) typically refers to an error you see when you try to install an X64 (64-bit) service pack on an X86 machine (32-bit). For that one, I'd just suggest to double check that you have the corrent installation package for your machine.
