Update KB955706 failed once again

After several months of having windows update ignore KB955706 "SQL Express Edition SP3" it is back.
2 two questions:
Am I missing any functionality not being able to run SQL Express Edition?
Is this back because of a crucial update?
I tried different legal remedies specified in other threads posted here, but like those people, I too was able to get this update to "take".

I found my answer.
I searched on microsoft.com to get answers on this KB955706 failed to install when you use "windows update".
There are no answers for XP Pro and Vista (which are the platforms, with that I have a problem. But the guys from MicroSoft EBS (Esstential Business Server) are aware of the install KB955706 failure on their platform. As explained:

http://blogs.technet.com/essentialbusinessserver/archive/2009/05/06/SQL-2005-SP-3-KB-955706-fails-to-install-on-the-EBS-Management-Server.aspx

Then, by email, for the problem I've had for several months with KB955706 install failures. These fine people directed me to a way to install "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP3". Please note that they said "EXPRESS EDITION" and not "SQL Sever 2005 SP3" which is a completely different product / platform.  It seems that most of the people are focused to install "SQL Server 2005 SP3"platform and not "SQL Server 2005 EXPRESS EDITION SP3" application for XP and Vista.

For SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP3, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=3181842a-4090-4431-ACDD-9a1c832e65a6&displaylang=en

I used the 32-bit for XP Pro computer.
The technicians of the EBS also directed me to a "Mr Fixit" adjusted Windows Update to reflect a correct installation. I don't not favorite it unfortunately.

I have now in SQL Server 2005 EXPRESS EDITION as a new program on both Vista and XP Pro running. Windows Update is no longer permanently downloads and cannot install KB955706.
Express Edition of SQL Server 2005 handy little program that I have now. Express Edition is explained here:

http://www.Microsoft.com/SQLServer/2005/en/us/express.aspx

I'm going to name my kid 'The Super Tech at MicroSoft Essential Business Systems' khatter.
I hope that other failures to install KB955706 can benefit from my long and frustrating saga.
Thank you.

  • HP Pavilion 15 laptop: Short hard drive DST check failure... once again.

    A question that I had resolved a few months ago started occurring again, in which the laptop is struggling to load things when started and soon after falls down and has to be restarted. I guess that means that the hard drive has failed once again and so I have no doubt about how to solve this problem, but I write this query to ask: why? Why has a laptop, I had since not even a year at this stage has already had the same problem occur twice, even with the replacement of the piece that broke the first time? I am willing to assume that this is something to do with excessive I will admit that it is enabled for a good part of almost every day, often for several hours I play the games on Steam on it. Currently, I do not plan to have the hard drive replaced again because it is clearly an issue that will keep occurring that the way things are and if I can get a PC that won't break every time a gust of wind so it hits. Any information on why this happens and how it could potentially be avoided in the future is appreciated, especially if it offers a solution that doesn't involve payment of an exorbitant amount of money.

    The worst enemy of hard drives is heat. If you play on a computer that is pushed to the limits of the game, a lot of it can wear on a hard drive for a few months. You get a lot of activity of fan during the game? A cooling pad may be an option, or on a computer box of Grandpa instead of a laptop for the games.

    Hello Anshul230499,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    If a download was interrupted in the Mac App Store, then whenever you have new Internet download should then restart.

    If a download application is interrupted

    Once an Internet connection is restored, your purchased downloads should restart automatically. The Mac App Store may warn you that there is a problem with the download and ask if you want to restart downloads. Confirming will restart all pending downloads.

    Download time may vary according to the size of the file and the speed of your Internet connection. See this article on purchases made on iTunes Store for more information on the time to download large files.

    Take care.

  • 10.11.5 OSX Windows 7 folders update connection failed

    I recently updated my Mac OSX 10.11.5.  Before the update I was on before the most recent version, not sure what the previous issue, but I was already in El Capito.  I have a MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inch, mid-2014)

    I got a Setup FROM my windows desktop PC 7 very basic file sharing.  I had shared folders on my Windows 7 PC WITH no password protection.  I'm not using residential groups or anything like that, just the standard function where you right click on the folder in windows 7, click Properties, and then use the tab share to allow everyone on the network to access some files.

    Normally I opened finder on my macbook, click on my windows PC in the left column under the shared section.  The windows PC is called "yale-pc."  I would be invited on the macbook to connect or log in as a guest.  I've always had to sign in as a guest, the connection method requires a password, but once again the windows network has no password.  Once logged in as a guest I could open my windows folder and select the media for playback on the macbook.

    Nothing has changed on my windows PC.  All my other devices on the network still work correctly and can access the files on my windows 7 PC with no problems at all, so I know he's still working.

    But on my macbook when I choose now the connection as a guest mac says "failed to connect".  Even the shortcut I had on the Mac Office to link directly to a folder called 'TV' on my windows computer I have the same problem.  In my view, this recent update I read was in large part on securing network connections caused a buggy script where I can access is no longer my computer shared folders on windows correctly.

    If I use the finder and select the go menu, then click on to connect to the server and attempt to connect to "yale-pc", I get an actual error with this method.  I will include a screenshot of the error.

    The last absolutely more confusing part is when I introduce a 3rd computer to test.  I have another windows 7 PC called "pc game" I pulled this high unit strictly for testing purposes.  All my other computers at home can see "pc game" shared files without problem.

    When I try to connect to "pc game" my Mac, I have the same problems.  HOWEVER for some reason, in the shared finder column, if I click on "yale-pc" then "pc game" and then click BACK to the "yale-pc" IT WORKS!  I can access and read my files of the 'yale-pc' on my mac.  But it only works if I turn on both my computers windows 7, then alternatively by selecting one and then the other in the lookup column.  This proves that it IS possible for my Mac to connect, but only with the extremely annoying method which requires me to run on two computers separate windows just to access the files, I need one.

    Like a fool, I don't have a time machine backup that is not an option.

    No idea what's going on, I use my mac daily to access the multimedia video files from Windows PC that has made the hard drive space to hold my collection.

    Any ideas?

    I'm having exactly the same problem after the update!

    Thus the same error message

    but it is impossible to connect to my pc network

    any idea please?

  • Why KB2833941 update continually fails to download

    Since 13 July, my computer tried to download the KB2833941 update every time I stop. I have tried several times today and it still fails. This is getting very frustrating and I'm getting very annoyed now. My computer is old and running XP. Do I really need this download, and if not is there a way to stop him from trying to download every day?

    I have a problem with both XP boxes, and in the past I got it with the other updates.  It is a long and frustrating problem to solve.

    The cause was the update has been replaced by another and installed first.  During the update of the former, it checks the versions of the files and since they are not correct it reports once again the update necessary.  It seems that this is caused when MS releases and update an update.

    I guess I should start trying to let him go, otherwise you will see your HD will begin to fill in the following directory \WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Local Settings\Temp

    up to the time your PC breaks down.  Of course, you can just purge all files in that directory as well.

  • wireless lan driver installation update always fail and the update corrupted my wireless driver I use Samsung series 5

    Updates were recently fired the SW update. I have installed all the other updates the BIOS etc successfully, with the exception of the wireless Lan driver. Instead of doing an update, it has disabled my wireless totally when he said that the installation has failed.

    During my first attempt, I downloaded the driver 100%. Then a pop up message appeared saying that "the installation may take several minutes", and then another Intel logo appears and disappears, but said later that he could not install. After that, I get disconnected from my internet connection. No sign of wireless activity were found. I tried to watch the wireless icon and it was gone. I tried to solve the problem and it says that the only device for my wireless connection is Bluetooth.

    I thought it was just the problem of internet connectivity, so I tried to download the next day, but this time while being connected to a local network. The same thing happened to downloaded 100% and does not once again during installation. I just want you to know that I closed all applications and my laptop plugged in during installation if it helps your troubleshooting. I asked SAMSUNG support and they told me that the problem is with Microsoft, so I should ask them.

    I tried to update for like 5 or more times, but it's the same thing. I use my laptop for work and it's like I can't live without my wireless LAN are not always available. Download of the update becomes tedious because I have to wait like half an hour to finish the download only to find out that the installation will fail. I searched his driver I can install it manually but its nowhere to be found, looks like I'm stuck with SW update

    Hello Varshil07,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    If I understand your message, by updating your Mac you have forced stop, or you have closed the lid, and now it does not start.  To start, I suggest that try you to start in safe mode by following the instructions below.  For later use, it's a good idea to not force the computer to shut down or close the lid while it is up to date, because it can cause problems.

    1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.

    2. After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

    3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.

      You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.

    4. Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

    To exit safe mode, restart your Mac, but no press during the startup.
