Hi Friends,
I am trying to apply SQL server 2008 SP4 to my instance. I am getting below error after the "check files in use" tab and i am not able to progress further.
When i check in the setupbootstrap log details.txt
File "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\COM\DISTRIB.exe" has been locked.
Error: Action "GatherUserSettings" threw an exception during execution
Message:
Index was outside the bounds of the array.
Stack:

I have transactional replication configured in my instances. How should i proceed further? Should i stop SQL server agent service and try patching.
If that is the solution, is it okay to take down SQL agent services before applying SP.
Thanks
