I have a computer running SQL 2008 R2 Developer Edition(Sp2). I am trying to patch with Sp3. However even though the SQL instances are currently running fine and when I run select @@version from an active instance I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP2) - 10.50.4000.0 (X64)
Jun 28 2012 08:36:30
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation
Developer Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) (Hypervisor)
However when I attempt to apply SP3 to the server I get the following:
TITLE: SQL Server Setup failure.
------------------------------
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
There are no applicable SQL Server instances to patch. Setup cannot continue.
Error code 0x84B20001.
I run the SQL discovery report from setup and it discovers all the shared components but none of the SQL Engine installs. I need to patch the server. Anyone ever run into this issue. Does anyone know what the discovery report looks at to discover what is installed on the machine?
Thanks in advance....
