Bug #: 474888 (SQL Server 8.0)



Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2000 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 2000 fix release.



SUMMARY
This article describes the following about this hotfix release:
 * The issues that are fixed by the hotfix package
 * The prerequisites for applying the hotfix package
 * Whether you must restart the computer after you apply the hotfix package
 * Whether the hotfix package is replaced by any other hotfix package
 * Whether you must make any registry changes after you apply the hotfix package
 * The files that are contained in the hotfix package



SYMPTOMS
When you try to apply a hotfix on a Microsoft SQL Server 2000-based computer that is configured as a Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) node, the hotfix installer may fail. This problem occurs when you use SQL Server Authentication. When this problem occurs, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:

An error in updating your system has occurred.

Additionally, the following messages may be logged in the hotfix installer log:

22.218: SQL DLL: Checking user authentication product instance MSSQLServer using SQL authentication

RESOLUTION
The installer does not install this hotfix correctly on x64-based systems. This installation issue occurs when the following conditions are true:
 * The system uses the Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) AMD64 processor architecture or the Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T) processor architecture.

Note This issue does not occur on systems that use the Intel Itanium processor architecture.
 * The system is running a 64-bit version of the Microsoft Windows Server operating system.
 * The system is running a 32-bit version of SQL Server 2000.

We have corrected this installation issue in later builds of SQL Server 2000, starting with version 8.00.2244. When a customer who is running SQL Server 2000 on an x64-based system requests this hotfix, we will provide a build that includes this hotfix and that can be installed correctly on an x64-based system. The build that we provide will be version 8.00.2244 or a later version.
