I was working on a SQL Server SP3 patch upgrade on Windows Server 2008 SP2 and for a server it failed with the following error.
"Attributes do not match. Present attributes (Directory,
Compressed) , included attributes (0), excluded attributes (Compressed,
Encrypted)"
Exit code (Decimal): -2068578304
Exit facility code: 1204
Solution
Go to C:\Program files\SQLServer\ and change the properties of this folder by unchecking
compress option/Archiving option.
Once you uncheck this, Re-ran the patch installation and it should complete successfully. It worked for me without any issues and hope does the same for all.
Njoy and Have a Gr8 Day!!
