Installing SQL Server 2005 SP1 fails

Hi,

Trying to install SQL Server 2005 SP1 on a windows 2003 box and it fails for database services and reporting services patch. It installs successfully other components of the patch.
Following errors are logged in the event log.
1) Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - Update 'Service Pack 1 for SQL Server Database Services 2005 ENU (KB913090)' could not be installed. Error code 1603. Additional information is available in the log file C:\WINNT\Hotfix\SQL9\Logs\SQL9_Hotfix_KB913090_sqlrun_sql.msp.log

2) Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -- Error 29506. SQL Server Setup failed to modify security permissions on file C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\ for user birendraa. To proceed, verify that the account and domain running SQL Server Setup exist, that the account running SQL Server Setup has administrator privileges, and that exists on the destination drive.
3) Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services -- Error 29561. SQL Server Setup failed to retrieve the SSL Certificate Name.
4) Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services - Update 'Service Pack 1 for SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 ENU (KB913090)' could not be installed. Error code 1603. Additional information is available in the log file C:\WINNT\Hotfix\RS9\Logs\RS9_Hotfix_KB913090_sqlrun_rs.msp.log.

The account running SQL server setup has admin privileges on that box.
Kindly help me in this regard.

Thanks.

I'll take a shot at these...

1 & 4) These 1603 errors are tough to debug without the logs (and often even with the logs). These may go away after fixing the other two issues. Aaron's blog has a good explanation of them.

2) The problem is that there exists a file in this Data directory that the user running SP1 does not have permissions to modify. The workaround is to figure out which file this is (typically a user created DB or some backup program files) and to temporarily assign permission to that file(s). You can revert back to the intended permissions after running SP1.

3) This one has come up a few times in the forum. Here is a good thread on it.
