Did anyone download Cumulative package 2 for SQL 2008? How many files you see
after extracting the compressed file. Currently i only see two
files--sqlncli.msi and hotfix.txt. It looks like MS missing the hotfix.exe in
the package. Could someone confirm what i see?
thanks

Looks like you downloaded (and/or only requested) the file with SNAC in the
name; this file is only for native client.  Actually now that I look at the
KB article it seems the CU2 package for the engine has been pulled.  Let me
see what I can find out...

OK, it looks like this is fixed, all of the download packages are now
available again.  Make sure you download the file labeled
"SQL_Server_2008_Cumulative_Update_2" to patch your server(s), though it's
not a bad idea to patch the clients as well (both for SNAC and potentially
any updates to client tools like SSMS).
