Hi All,

I've been out of the loop for a while and now I see SP1 available VS2005. I'm running
VS2005 Team Edition for Software Developers. When I attempt to install
VS80sp1-KB926601-X86-ENU.exe on my VS2005 Version 8.0.50727.363 (SP.050727-3600) the
installer says:

"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the
program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version
of the program...."

Has anyone else had this problem? I'm pretty sure I downloaded the correct version.

Thanks,
Lance
 
If you had installed the beta version of SP-1, you need to deinstall it
before installing the final version of SP-1.

The only other thing I can think of is to download it again and make
sure you got the right version.

Ack! You're right. Someone had installed the beta version of the SP. The "SP" in the
version number should have given that away :-) . In order to uninstall the beta version,
you need to tick the "Show Updates" checkbox in the Add or Remove Programs dialog box.

Thanks RobinS!
