Hello, please help me understand this
I have SQL Server 2016 installed.
When using @@Version I get (SP2-CU17) (KB5001092) - 13.0.5888.11 but when checking on the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\130\SQLServer2016\CurrentVersion I get 13.2.5888.11.
I have tried to check the internet for 13.2.5888.11, but it looks like it does not even exists :(, is this an error in the registry or maybe the entry is corrupted? is there a way to fix the registry? or the version in SQL?
Thanks in advance!
See https://sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.com/, build 13.0.5888.11/13.2.5888.11 is "Cumulative update 17 (CU17) for SQL Server 2016 Service Pack 2 " = Latest CU
The 2 as major build number is often use for the tools, 0 for the engine; it's explain under the link above.
Thanks a lot! So does that means that 13.2.5888.11 in the registry is an expected value?
Yes, the registry entry is so far correct. More reliable is always the result of SELECT @@VERSION

Do not use the registry to verify your version. Always use SELECT @@VERSION. The version numbers reported by @@VERSION do not match the key put into the registry.
