Title: UPDATE: SQL Server 2005 Express Service Pack 3 Available
Severity: <Unspecified>
Fixlet ID: 20337
Fixlet Link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/bb895958.aspx

Fixlet Description: Important Note: Due to the complexity of this Service Pack, installation of SQL Server 2005 Express SP3 cannot be performed without user interaction and must be installed manually.

Microsoft has released Service Pack 3 for SQL Server 2005 Express. This Service Pack includes various updates and bug fixes to the data engine, database client utilities, and database client connectivity components. Additional information can be found here. 

Important Note: Back up your SQL Server 2005 Express databases - Before you install SQL Server 2005 Express SP3, back up the master, msdb, and model databases. Installing SQL Server 2005 Express SP3 modifies these databases, making them incompatible with pre-SP3 versions of SQL Server 2005 Express. Backups of these databases are required if you decide to reinstall SQL Server 2005 Express without SP3.

Important Note: There are known issues associated with the installation of this patch. See the knowledge base article and release notes for additional information.
