How big was the file that got downloaded? When I download SP3a, Windows
Explorer tells them that sql2ksp3.exe is 56,453 KB. You might want to try
downloading it again.

In fact, the entire folder, \x86\setup, where the install
app is supposed to reside is missing. The service pack
states that it unpacked properly, but I cannot install
the service pack without the install app!

I cannot find any reference to this problem anywhere.
Anyone know where I can find a resolution? This is
nuts... I am in the middle of a disaster recovery
practice, and I can't get sql installed so that I can
finish!

TIA,
Karen

I do intend to try downloading again. The downloaded file was the size
you specified, which obviously is not correct. lol

Thanks!

Hmm, this is likely a dumb question, so please forgive me, but you are
looking in the directory that you specified in the dialog box when you ran
sql2ksp3.exe, right? Not the directory that you downloaded the file from our
website to, but the directory that you specified to unpack the files in when
you ran the downloaded sql2ksp3.exe file.
