Is this the sp4 for sql 2005 exp Adv?
Hi, I'm using windows 2008 enterprise server. I just installed sql 2005 exp Adv and I need to install sp now for it. At this site, http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=26435597-b28e-4568-9d16-017bdf47abdc
Is the file, SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE, a service pack for sql 2005 exp Adv that I should download and install? Thanks.

Hi, Thank you for the detail. I'm using windows 2008 server. I downloaded and install my sql exp advance here, http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/confirmation.aspx?FamilyID=4c6ba9fd-319a-4887-bc75-3b02b5e48a40
1. Should I download this version, x64
Supported Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 64-bit X64 editions.?
2. These service packs, would they also work for sql 2005 exp Adv? They're not just for reg sql 2005 version, are they?
Thank you.
