Hey, worked like a charm also for KB 2716440 with the same error code.

t had to check also the instances of the installation (in my case the express version)

Here I found all entries on state 3:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SHAREPOINT\ConfigurationState

Thanks a lot for sharing this!

thanks, this worked for me. the sql_dreplay_controller key had a val of 2. changed it to 1 and the update worked.

This did not solve the issue. There are not registry keys with a value 3 in my system.

How do you set a registry key to 1?

When you say set the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\ConfigurationState key to 1, do you mean set the default value to 1? In the image above, the default value is not set. Do you understand the difference between a registry key and registry value?

This solution worked for me also and like the other poster said one of the values was a '2'. Changed it to 1 and it installed (took a while but it installed)..

I had an entry at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\110\ConfigurationState that was set to 2. Changing it to 1 allowed the install to complete successfully.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

I had a similar issue, but in my case the offending registry keys were found in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\ConfigurationState\. Patch installation was successful after I set all key values to 1.

Doesn't work for me either.

I have an upgraded 2008 R2 to 2012 RTM developer edition. Think the problem is to do with seeing old files. I hate the way SQL and Visual Studio still install loads of crap from the previous versions and even leave icons in the start menu for 2008 R2.

re: SQL server 2012 Install/Update Failure - 84B20001
