WSUS 3.0 Install/Uninstall problems again "Jason Rosolowski" <jrosolowski[ at ]nolandhealth.com> 7/10/2007 8:28:59 PM I posted a week or 2 ago about one of my servers having problems with the install of WSUS 3.0 and Fei was able to help me get this fixed. I'm now trying to get WSUS 3.0 on a different server and I'm having problems. Here's what I've done so far. WSUS 2.0 SP1 was installed on this server and working fine. I launched the WSUS 3.0 install (wsus3setupx86.exe) to perform an upgrade. It goes through the motions, but at the end it fails. I then goto Add/Remove Programs and see that "Microsoft Windows Server Update Services Service Pack 1" is listed. So I figure I'll try to remove the old version and just install a clean version of 3.0. I highlight it, click Remove, and I get a box that pops up. The heading on the box itself is "Windows Server Update Services 3.0". The error in the box is "Command-line Parameters Not Valid. See log file c:\docume~1\admini~1.lnf\locals~1\temp\wsussetup.log for details". Here is the contents of that file: 2007-07-10 15:30:47 Error MWUSSetup Wsus 2.0 is installed. The only possible setup action is upgrade (Error 0x80041453) 2007-07-10 15:30:48 Error MWUSSetup DoInstall: ParseCommandLine failed (Error 0x80041453) So...it looks like WSUS 3.0 was partially installed. I've tried reinstalling WSUS 2.0 SP1. I've tried uninstalling WSUS2.0 SP1. I've tried installing WSUS 3.0 again. All of these fail. I've looked on the internet high and low regarding this error and haven't found anything that has worked. I just want to get SUS off my server for now. Thank you Jason Rosolowski

Re: WSUS 3.0 Install/Uninstall problems again "Fei Cao \(MSFT\)" <feicao[ at ]online.microsoft.com> 7/11/2007 5:15:14 PM Jason, I am not sure how your installation get screwed up like this. Apparently your WSUS 2.0 sp1 is not uninstalled completely, while WSUS 3.0 seems to be installe partially..Did you recently upgrade your OS or something ? You may need to copy logs for each failed scenario (e.g., upgrade log or uninstall log) to help trouble shoot.
