• update of sql server 2005 service pack 3 error code 6D9E Windows update security does not accept the update

  update of sql server 2005 service pack 3 error code 6D9E Windows update security does not accept the update

  Hey lasdj,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers site!

  If you receive Windows Update error 6d9e while installing SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 by using Windows Update, it means that the installation folders and directories are compressed or encrypted.

  To fix this problem, make sure the folder locations where you are installing the service pack to aren't compressed or encrypted, or specify a different folder and then run Windows Update again.

  Therefore, remove the compression of the DATA directory and run together to the top again.

  Remove compression from the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server folder and see if you are able to install the updates without any problem.

  See the links below for more details:

  Hi Sarma_RN,

  1. When you receive the error message?

  2. update you are trying to install?

  3. When was the last time you were able to install updates?

  If Windows Update, error 80072ee2 during updates, the Windows Update servers may experience an unusually high number of requests for updates. Close Windows Update, wait 10 to 15 minutes, and then run Windows Update again. Alternatively, you can wait for automatic update of Windows run at its next scheduled time.

  These errors can occur caused by one of the following problems:

  • Applications or processes that interfere with Internet communications
  • Problems on your computer
  • Strong Internet activity
  • Recoverable database errors

  See the Microsoft article and try the steps mentioned below.
