cannot upgrade management studio

Hi,

I have clean install of Vista and Orcas March CTP. Vista automatically downloaded SP2 for SQL services. It does not come with Management Studio however, so I have to download it from web. There is only unupdated version for download, so I downloaded it and installed it. It does not work of course, but when I run the SP2 pack, it wrote me that half of the products are already updated and half of them are not updatable by the pack.

What should I do?

SQL Server SP2 does update the enterprise Management Studio, so I assume you are talking about Management Studio Express.

You should be able to uninstall Management Studio Express and then install Management Studio Express SP2 from this web site: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6053C6F8-82C8-479C-B25B-9ACA13141C9E&displaylang=en If you've already done that, you can verify that you have Management Studio Express SP2 by starting the application and then looking at the Help > About... dialog. SP2 is version 9.0.3042.

Hope this helps,

Steve

|||As explained you can accomplish as per the explanation above, if you are using ENterprise Management studio then you might try again applying the Service pack2.
