Application Center 2000 MSDE SP2 Upgrade Displays “Unable to Run SQL Script” or MS02-061 Displays “Error Running SQL Script” dialog box

When applying the fixes from either Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-061 or Application Center Hotfix QFE813058.exe to machines that have Microsoft Application Center 2000 you may get a dialog box that says:


-or-

The Application Hotfix QFE813058.exe did not properly install Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Edition (MSDE) SP2.

This usually happens when MSSQL$MSAC and SQLAGENT$MSAC services were not started before Hotfix QFE813058.exe was applied.

To resolve this issue, please start the MSSQL$MSAC and the SQLAGENT$MSAC services and then reapply Application Center Hotfix QFE813058.exe and then install the fixes provided in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-061.

To restart the MSSQL$MSAC and the SQLAGENT$MSAC services, follow the steps below:

1. From a command prompt, enter the following commands, pressing ENTER between each command. Be sure to let the first command finish processing before you enter the second one.

This will restart the services.
