Upgrade to PureMessage 3.1 - SQL Express service pack issue

Chunk

Hi all,

so my current setup is this:

Server 2003/Exchange 2003 - Pure Message 3.0.2.0 SQL Express 2005 SP2

I need to upgrade to PureMessage 3.1 before the end of the month and I have reviewed the system requirements that say I need SQL Express 2005 SP3. Any guidance on how I upgrade from SP2 to SP3?

Spoke to support and they said that the PM installer would not do this for me so I need to do it myself but could offer no guidance. Basically I have so far downloaded the SQLEXPR32.EXE from the following location http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=15291 but have a feeling that it may try to install a new instance and not upgrade the existing SOPHOS db. Struggling to find any information on this, all I want to do is apply the standalone SP3 to my existing instance of SQL Express 2005

Anybody had any experience of this? Any guidance gratefully accepted.

Cheers

Chunk

    Hi Christian,

    thanks for the reply. The service pack is not appearing as an available update from Microsoft which is something I am also looking into.

    The link you sent is one I have been to before and when directed to the latest service pack for  SQL Express 2005 (sp4) it takes you to a similar page that I linked to in my original post. The question being does the exe that you get from these sources install a new instance of SQL Express 2005 sp3/4 or upgrade the existing instance? - (which is what I want to happen).

    Thanks for taking the time out to reply.
