Follow the note:

SQLServer2008SP1-KB968369-x86-ENU.exe /x:c:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\PCUrobocopy C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\PCU c:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1 Setup.exerobocopy C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\PCU c:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1 Setup.rllrobocopy C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\pcu\x86 C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\x86 /XF Microsoft.SQL.Chainer.PackageData.dll

Determine if you have a defaultsetup.ini at the following locations:

C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\x86

If you have a defaultsetup.ini, add

PCUSOURCE="C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\PCU"

We have to use SQL 2008 for 64bit. We have copied installation and service pack (64bit) to C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1.

After this, we followed the steps again:

SQLServer2008SP1-KB968369-x64-ENU.exe /x:c:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\PCUrobocopy C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\PCU c:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1 Setup.exerobocopy C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\PCU c:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1 Setup.rllrobocopy C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\pcu\x64 C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\x64 /XF Microsoft.SQL.Chainer.PackageData.dll

Determine if you have a defaultsetup.ini at the following locations:

C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\x64

If you have a defaultsetup.ini, add

PCUSOURCE="C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1\PCU“

Now, proceed with the setup:

C:\SQLServer2008_FullSP1>setup.exe

Service pack 2 do SQL 2008
