Hi,
I'm running a SQL Server 2016 SP1 with CU1 on it on a windows server 2012 r2 platform. My issue is that I tried to update to CU3 recently and I recieved the error:
Error installing SQL Server Common Files
The upgrade cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade 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.
Error code: 1642
I tried to install CU2 and got the same error.
looking deeper into the log files I found the following
