asked on Error installing E2k7 SP3 on SBS 2008
Hi all,
I'm trying to install SP3 for Exchange 2007 on an SBS 2008 SP2 server.
I have read: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982423 which doesn't give much clue ...
I don't have Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange Server installed.
I get this error ;-)
![Screen Error]()

I have removed the Indexing Service and I still get exactly the same error and log entry ...
It is worth noting that I didn't get the same error as the user that this solution worked for.
Next steps?

a) you have to install the tool.
b) make the registry changes as described here
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973862
I have checked this with microsoft PSS

Can you give full access permission to administrator on the drive where SP3 is downloaded and then try to install.

Forgive me if I misunderstand but that article is entitled, "You cannot install Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 2 on a Windows Small Business Server 2008-based computer"
I am trying to install SP3 on and SP1 machine ... Do you still think your advice applies? Or should I be installing SP2 BEFORE SP3??
Thanks

Ms PSS says the article still applies
a) you need to make those registry changes before installing SP3 (as well as SP2)
Can you navigate to that tree and see if the key is there ?

I went to the registry and the key wasn't there so I created it and retried the install and the fault(s) were exactly the same as before ...
BTW, I haven't cycled any Services and haven't rebooted at any stage. Is this correct?
If a reboot is suggested I won't be able to do that during Std Bus. Hrs ...

registry changes require reboot.
