It seems that all of a sudden my company's clients are running into problems with the installation of service pack 5a on SQL Server 6.5 workstations. The service pack is apparently getting to the point where it checks the master DB and then chkmast.exe returns a value of 0 which seems to indicate that there is not enough space in the master DB for the service pack to install. I have expanded master databases well beyond the capacity where this would ever be a problem but the service pack continues to fail on chkmast.exe. What needs to be done to allow the service pack installation to complete?
