Thanks in advance. I have tried several things and others have experienced similar issues, but people either do not post their fix or the issue is never resolved.
We have 2 separate SQL installs running on Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition Service Pack 2 OS x86. SQL is currently at 9.0.3175. The installs of service pack 3 and 4 vboth fail. The original issue reported the follwing in the summary.txt.
Product Installation Status
Product : SQL Server Database Services 2005 (MSSQLSERVER)
Product Version (Previous): 3073
Product Version (Final) :
Status : Failure
Log File : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix\SQL9_Hotfix_KB954606_sqlrun_sql.msp.log
Error Number : 1635
Error Description : Unable to install Windows Installer MSP file
To resolve this issue, the following artickle was done, which has moved me past this error and to a new error: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlserverfaq/archive/2009/01/30/part-1-sql-server-2005-patch-fails-to-install-with-an-error-unable-to-install-windows-installer-msp-file.aspx?PageIndex=1#comments
This approach appear to even be the fix for a post here at Technet, but it does not work for me.
The summary.txt is now reading the following error:
Product : Database Services (MSSQLSERVER)
Product Version (Previous): 3175
Product Version (Final) :
Status : Failure
Log File : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix\SQL9_Hotfix_KB955706_sqlrun_sql.msp.log
Error Number : 2902
Error Description : MSP Error: 2902 The installer has encountered an unexpected error. The error code is 2902. Operation ixfAssemblyCopy called out of sequence.
Searches for this error are very broad and nothing specific to SQL. Here is a copy of the error from the sqlrun_sql.msp.log.

Error 2902. The installer has encountered an unexpected error. The error code is 2902. Operation ixfAssemblyCopy called out of sequence.
Has anyone ever seen this before? I inherites these SQL Servers and would also like to know what could have caused the issue, but obviously I want to install the latest SP for SQL first.
Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
