Can't get SP3a installed

I'm trying to get SP3a installed on my computer, and it simply will not
update. Here's what SELECT @.@.VERSION returns:
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.194 (Intel X86) Aug 6 2000 00:57:48
Copyright (c) 1988-2000 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows
NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
According to the MS web site, this is the original installation version. I
downloaded all 3 of the files at the end of the "Microsoft SQL Server 2000
Service Pack 3a" page, and followed the instructions and installed
sql2ksp3.exe first, then installed sql2kasp3.exe. I stopped the services,
and restarted the services, and SELECT @.@.VERSION still returns the same
exact thing as what is listed above. What did I do wrong here?
Thanks,
Jesse
Hi
After running sql2ksp3.exe (it extracts to a directory), did you run the
setup.bat to install the SP?
Did the setup.bat run with errors?

run.
Have fun.
