Hello,

I'm following the tutorial for setting up notification services, available here: ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/sqltut9/html/44aa0556-b9c2-48f5-8775-134bbe0b90aa.htm. Where it says:

Update the Instance of Notification Services
After you modify the ADF, you update the instance of Notification Services to add event class objects to the application database:

In Object Explorer, expand Notification Services.
Right-click Tutorial, point to Tasks, and then select Update.
In the Update Instance dialog, click Browse, browse to the TutorialICF.xml file, and then click Open.
In the Parameters grid, enter values for the _ServerName_, _DBEngineInstance_, and _InstancePath_ parameters. Use the same values you used to create the instance.
Click OK.
Review the Notification Services - Update Summary dialog box, and then click Update.
When the update actions complete, click Close.


I'm getting the error: The instance must be disabled before it can be updated or upgraded. I figured how to disable it, but whenever I disable all the services, it keeps enabling the application portion, which then doesn't allow me to upgrade! Why is that? How do I disable the application?

Thanks.

Brian

Nevermind, the instructions show to go to properties > Applications, then disable there, but the master disable in the context menu for the notification service works.
