Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP2 Issue

An issue was recently discovered with SQL Server 2005 SP2 which might impact
customers using cleanup tasks in Maintenance Plans and SQL Server
Integration Services packages. The issue is described in detail at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933508. We have created a General
Distribution Release (GDR) #50000939 to address this issue which is
available for download and we have included the GDR in a refresh of the SP2
installation package.
Customers who download SP2 starting Monday, March 5th, 2007 will not need to
need any further action since the refreshed SP2 installation package
includes the necessary GDR.
We recommend that everyone who has downloaded and installed SP2 prior to
March 5th, 2007 apply the GDR either from Microsoft Update or by downloading
it directly from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=85124. As described
in the KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933508), this is
primarily for customers who use cleanup tasks in maintenance plans and SQL
Server Integration Services packages.
Maintenance Plan Changes in SQL Server 2005 SP2
Users of SQL Server 2005 maintenance plans and SQL Server Integration
Services should be aware of a change in SP2 that affects existing cleanup
tasks until updated using SQL Server SP2 tools.
Who is affected?
You are affected if you use cleanup tasks in Maintenance Plans and SQL
Server Integration Services packages, those plans include a History Cleanup
Task or a Maintenance Cleanup Task, and you install SQL Server 2005 SP2.
Users of SQL Server 2000 legacy maintenance plans are not affected.
What is the issue?
When SQL Server 2005 was released, cleanup intervals were measured in days,
weeks, months, or years. In response to customer feedback, SQL Server 2005
SP2 includes significant enhancements to maintenance plans. These include an
enhancement that lets users specify the cleanup interval in hours.
The change in intervals caused the initial release of SQL Server 2005 SP2 to
misinterpret existing cleanup task intervals in maintenance plans and
Integration Services packages. This can lead to the files being cleaned up
earlier than intended. The issue is described in detail at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933508.
What if I have already installed SP2 on my server?
If you downloaded SQL Server 2005 SP2 before Monday, March 5th, 2007,
install a general distribution release (GDR) update for those SQL Server
2005 SP2 installations. The GDR is available from the Microsoft Download
Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=85124
After you install this GDR, you might have to restart your computer.
This GDR is also available through Microsoft Update, and will be applied
automatically if you are using automatic updates. However, if you are using
failover clustering, you must download and apply the GDR manually. Microsoft
Update will not apply the GDR to failover cluster nodes.
What if I haven't yet installed SP2 on my server?
SQL Server 2005 RTM and SQL Server 2005 SP1 do not have this issue, and the
current SQL Server 2005 SP2 download is updated to resolve this issue. If
you have not installed the initial release of SP2, you can download the
current release and install it.
Note: If you try to apply the SP2 refresh over a previous SP2 installation,
no files are updated. Instead, use the general distribution release (GDR)
update below.
*UPDATE*
If you downloaded SQL Server 2005 SP2 before March 5, 2007 please read
article 933508 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base regarding an important issue
with SP2 and related tools that are now available for download. If you have
any questions regarding this update, please contact Ed Lehman.

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup Problem

i keep getting this message whenever i double click the setup for sql server 2005. i previously installed the sql server 2005 beta 2 and have since deleted it. i've followed the readme on uninstalling some of the beta components and tried running some program i got from microsoft.com which would uninstal the pre release- the program doesn't detect any pre-release component. i however continue to get this message and need help resolving it.
