Automatic Updates

OK, I get a message from Automatic Updates that SQL 2005 SP 2 needs to be
installed. I tell it to go ahead and install. It says it installed
successfully.
Ten minutes later I get a message from Automatic Updates that SQL 2005 SP 2
needs to be installed. I tell it to go ahead and install. It says it
installed successfully.
Ten minutes later I get a message from Automatic Updates that SQL 2005 SP 2
needs to be installed. I tell it to go ahead and install. It says it
installed successfully.
I reboot just for the heck of it.
After I reboot I get a message from Automatic Updates that SQL 2005 SP 2
needs to be installed. I tell it to go ahead and install. It says it
installed successfully.
This has been going on for two weeks now. Any ideas?

What version is your SQL Server at? Do you have any other instances?

explains the different versions and actions that should be taken including
not allowing Microsoft Update to apply SP2 if you have a hotfix that didn't
make SP2.

If it doesn't work, you can tell windows update not to remind you of a patch
again, when you go through the custom installation, selecting the download
and checking the "Don't remind me again" checkbox.

I considered that, but decided against for now since I want to see if the
manual install actually works. I performed the manual install, and it
appears to have worked, but I want to give it a few more days to be sure.
Thanks
