title: VS 2005, SQL 2008, KB954961 Won't Install - Win7 x64 Issue?
body: <p>I recently installed Win 7 x64 on my machine. I have Visual Studio 2005 Standard, and need to install the update for SQL 2008 support, so I can connect to the remote SQL Server within VS.</p>

  <p>When I try to run the update, I get this message:</p>
  
  <p>The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.</p>
  
  <p>I have verified that VS has SP 1 installed, and have even tried reinstalling it. </p>
  
  <p>I am wondering if the problem could be that I'm on Windows 7 64bit? Has anyone had this issue?</p>
