Server 2008 SP3: There are no SQL Server instances or shared features that can be updated

I'm currently using SQL server 2008 SP3 10.0.5500.0 (2008 SP3) Express Edition

I've been trying to upgrade the build version from 10.0.5500.0 to 10.0.5538.0 but there is an error shown below when I used this KB2977321.

Error: There are no SQL Server instances or shared features that can be updated

Thank you.

Have you downloaded correct SP architecture. Make sure if you have 64 bit express edition you download 64 bit service pack. This is most common cause of such message. Below are 3 installables make sure you download the one which matches your architecture.

SQLServer2008-KB2977321-IA64.exe

SQLServer2008-KB2977321-x64.exe

SQLServer2008-KB2977321-x86.exe

Apologies I have double checked and you are correct. The SQL server was using X86 instead.
