Instructions:
1. Back up your SQL Server databases.
2. Back up your Analysis Services databases.
3. Make sure that the system databases have enough free space.

4. Download from the link above

5. Extract sql2ksp3.exe to its folder. followed by sql2kasp3.exe into the same folder
6. go into the folder click start.bat and install the patch.
