Hot Fix Prerequisites and Need with Service Packs

We are looking at the possible deployment of the SQL 2005 hot fix
described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916002#appliesto to
resolve connection issues with .net to SQL. However, we are unable to
determine if this hot fix has any prerequisites (such as sp1), or if
it fixed in sp1 or even in sp2. I have searched extensively online,
and I do not see this as fixed in any service pack documents (although
the lists are seldom complete), and the prerequisites are missing in
the KB article.
Any help would be appreciated.

It's not a SQL Server hotfix:
APPLIES TO
. Microsoft ADO.NET 2.0
So in theory, you could be running RTM SQL 2005 and this would work after
applying the fix.

The KB Article mentions. BUG #: 483 (SQL Hotfix). What makes you say
this is not a SQL hotfix?

|||The "applies to" is the defining term here, not the (SQL Hotfix) part...that
simply means the portion of ADO that is being fixed.
SQL Hotfix KBs have a list of the files that are being replaced, this KB
does not.
I tried to install it on my box and was told I did not have the product that
it applied to, but I do have the correct versions of SQL Server on my test
box.
Hope that helps
You can always call PSS and get a free incident opened and ask the same
question...just give them the KB article number when you call,
