Bug #: 50001935

Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release.



SYMPTOMS
When you run a Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) query that contains calculated members in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services, you receive the following error message:

Executing the query ...

Internal error: An unexpected exception occured.

Execution complete

Additionally, a minidump (.mdmp) file is generated in the following folder:

%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\OLAP\Log



RESOLUTION
The fix for this issue was first released in Cumulative Update 5. For more information about how to obtain this cumulative update package for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Note Because the builds are cumulative, each new fix release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release. Microsoft recommends that you consider applying the most recent fix release that contains this hotfix.

By default, any hotfix that is provided in a SQL Server service pack is included in the next SQL Server service pack.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
