Anyone experience problem in MSDE2.0 and SP2 ?
I can't install MSDE 2.0 on system with sp2 installed. It just simply
corrupted the SQL server installation.

Could you give us more specifics about this problem? I assume that your
default instance of SQL Server 2000 had Service Pack 2 installed, what
edition of SQL Server was it? I assume that you were installing MSDE 2.0 as
a named instance, is that right? How did it corrupt the SQL Server default
instance? Were the files overwritten? Were the entries in the registry
overwritten? Please let us know

1. Patching with MSDE 2.0 SP2 Merge Modules
I have a 2.0 msi package that contains the MSDE Merge Modules SP2.
I have attempted to create a patch for the install using the SDK tools.
The patch creates fine, contains only my modified file, no MSDE files - as
expected, since the MSDE version has not changed.
When applying the patch, the install fails. The log reveals the failure is
caused by a MSDE process called VerifyPatchability. This happens even if my
application files are in a SEPARATE FEATURE from MSDE and this feature is
the only one being explicitly specified in REINSTALL= ... Apparently, there
are custom MSDE actions added to the patch file that run no matter what
feature is being patched.
When this new version is built as a small update, not a patch, the installer
chugs through the MSDE actions, but upgrades fine, even if everything is in
the default feature. So my customers now have to download a 30MB upgrade
file instead of the 200kB patch actually required :((.
Has anyone been able to patch an install with MSDE SP2 Merge Modules?
I vaguely recollect that I was able to apply a successful patch during
testing with SP1, but I'm not sure, I was just playing with the stuff then.
Thanks.
