In general, to make an SP package, you have to download the bits and replace part o fhte original installer and package. The other option is set up a bootstrap to the original install and then to the SP. In the case of some versions of express, installing the SP is enough, as it is a full package. Not so for SQL 2008, unless something has recently changed. The bad news is setting up the MSIs locally is often a violation of the EULA, depending on the product, so you are often the "victim" of an inferior solution. Sorry I did not have some other solution to offer. Peace and Grace, -- Gregory A.
