There are no SQL Server instances or shared features that can be updated on this computer


Recently I have installed a new instance (SQL Server 2008 ) on a 2 node SQL Server cluster. When I am trying to apply Cumulative update 7 for SP2, the check box is grayed out and not able to select the check box for newly created instance and received following error

There are no SQL Server instances or shared features that can be updated on this computer.

I didn’t not receive any error during the instance creation, didn’t see any error messages in the event viewer. It looks the issue is with version, need to find the version information.

When I click on the instance to find the version information, I see a version miss match message in the description.

The version of SQL Server instance TEST does not match the version expected by the SQL Server upgrade. The installed SQL Server product version is 10.1.2531.0, and the expected SQL Server version is 10.2.4000.0


 It is very clear that before installing the Cumulative update 7 for SP2, we need to bring the version up to 10.2.4000.0.

I have installed SP2 first and I was able to apply Cumulative update 7 for SP2 successfully.
