Windows update on my Windows 7 64 bit system says I have an optional update available, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (KB2528583). When I try to install it through Windows update, it hangs. I try stopping the installation, and that hangs as well. I have to do a full restart to clear this up.
I then went to the KB doc, and it leads me to:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=26729
I download SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe.
When I start it up, I’m not sure how I update my existing installation of R2? It wants to do a new installation, which looks like I would have to migrate all my DBs into the new instance it creates.
Does anyone know how I can get this installer to update my existing R2 to SP1 in place? Just update my existing instance. Should I do a repair instead?
Thanks for your help,
Rich
