MSDE SP3 Installation

I have installed MSDE from the Insight Manager CD and I am now looking to get SP3 installed. I have downloaded sql2kdesktop.exe from Microsoft, when I run setup I get the following "the instance name specified is invalid". Please help, I have no sql experience.

Re: MSDE SP3 Installation

Unless you already have IM7SP2 (which is not released yet), you must use SQL7 service packs for MSDE 1.0.
The latest service pack is SP4.

IM7SP2 uses MSDE2K and there you can use SQL2KDESKTOP.EXE service packs (but not yet though).

Rgds,
