Found possible solutions at last!!!

When you face this problem, the first thing you have to do is to go
through the latest log file Summary.txt under the directory C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix\ and search
for any failures (Status : Failure). We can solve the issue directly
from this log file.

Here is what I have observed in the log file in different machines and
the possible solutions :

• Case 1:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : SQL Server Database Services 2005
(SQLEXPRESS)
Product Version (Previous): 3042
Product Version (Final) :
Status : Failure
Log File : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server
\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix\SQL9_Hotfix_KB948109_sqlrun_sql.msp.log
SQL Express Features :
Error Number : 1646
Error
Description : Unable to install Windows Installer MSP file
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Possible Solution: Reboot your machine before doing any of the
following changes. In the registry editor, go through the following
key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\7DDFFFA258DE09A4C825D59ABECDB9F8
and search for Uninstallable key. Change the value to 1 if it is 0.
Reinstall the patch and it should be successful now.


• Case 2:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product Installation Status
Product : SQL Server Database Services 2005
(MSSQLSERVER)
Product Version (Previous): 3054
Product Version (Final) :
Status : Failure
Log File : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server
\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix\SQL9_Hotfix_KB948109_sqlrun_sql.msp.log
Error Number : 29506
Error Description : MSP Error: 29506 SQL Server Setup failed
to modify security permissions on file C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\ for user Administrator. 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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Possible Solution: Reboot your machine before doing any of the
following changes. Login to management studio for the default
instance(MSSQLSERVER) and have a look at what all database we are
having. We should not have any other file other than database,
certificates under C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL
\Data\. Try moving all the files under this directory to a temp
folder. Leave the files which are in use. It moved around 10 files
which are not in use in my case. Also assign Full permission to the
logged in user to this folder. Start the installation and choose the
default instance. It should be successful.


• Case 3:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product Installation Status
Product : SQL Server Database Services 2005
(MSSQLSERVER)
Product Version (Previous): 3054
Product Version (Final) :
Status : Failure
Log File : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server
\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix\SQL9_Hotfix_KB948109_sqlrun_sql.msp.log
Error Number : 29538
Error Description : MSP Error: 29538 SQL Server Setup did not
have the administrator permissions required to rename a file: C:
\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\distmdl1.ldf.
To continue, verify that the file exists, and either grant
administrator permissions to the account currently running Setup or
log in with an administrator account. Then run SQL Server Setup again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Possible Solution: Reboot your machine before doing any of the
following changes. Verify that distmdl.ldf and distmdl.mdf files are
present under C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data
\ and grant administrator permissions for these files to the logged in
account.

Please feel free to contact me if you face similar kind of issues.
