Re: MS08-040 won't install on Windows Vista SP1

I'm running Vista SP1 32-bit.

After install installing the Developer edition of SQL Server 200 and then
upgrading with SP4 I'm now at version 8.00.2039.

But none of the attempts to install the subsequent patches (I need to be at
2187 for my legacy support work) were successful. I'm currently looking at a
virtual machine workaround but it would be great if I could beat the install
on Vista into submission :-). Unfortunately I have limited time.

Regards
Baldur

SQL 2000 instance is on virtual machine). I started it, it asked for
permission, and then it bombed on the same error message "Not enough
storage is available to process this command".

Do you have 32-bit or 64-bit Vista? I have Vista x86.

Eh, I have Vista x64. My idea was that some lazy bum only tested on
VIsta x86. If now Vista is supported at all.
