I upgraded from WSUS 2.0 SP1 to WSUS 3.0. During the upgrade, I noticed that
the setup routine said that it would upgrade from the MSDE SQL Server
instance to the Windows Internal Database. At first, the console worked
great, and I thought everything was going well. I tried to connect to the
WSUS server from one of the clients and it could not update/connect to the
server. I installed the Automatic Updates Client 3.0 and tried again. I got a
little further but not much. A while later, I checked the WSUS Server Console
again and got the error: Unexpected Error... Click Reset Server Node to try
to connect to the server again. I tried that and it still didn't work.
So, I decided to uninstall WSUS and reload. When I try to remove WSUS, I get
the following error in the WSUSSetup.log file:
Error MWUSSetup ParseCommandLine: Failed to open SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Update
Services\Server\Setup registry key (Error 0x80070002: The system cannot find
the file specified.).
I tried searching for that key and I even tried to manually create it to the
best of my knowledge. When trying to run setup on top, I get the error
message: Command-line Parameters Not Valid in a message box. Looking at the
log file, I get the following errors:
Error MWUSSetup ParseCommandLine: Failed to open SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Update
Services\Server\Setup registry key (Error 0x80070002: The system cannot find
the file specified.)
Error MWUSSetup DoInstall: ParseCommandLine failed (Error 0x80041453)
Error MWUSSetup DoInstall: ParseCommandLine failed (Error 0x80041453)
Does anyone have any ideas? HELP!

How did you try uninstall?
If you uninstall by running the setup executable again (with WSUS 3.0
already installed), then WSUS registry is needed to decide if an uninstall
or an upgrade should be executed --in your case, somehow your WSUS registry
seems already gone, thus the error.
So try uninstall via ARP (Add/Remove program) in control panel.

I have tried both, uninstalling via the setup executable and add/remove
programs. I get the same error for both.

OK, I confirmed the regkeys are needed either case for setup to retrieve the
various information to uninstall WSUS. But I have no idea how your regkeys
are gone. In your situation, I would suggest you to reimport the WSUS
regkeys to that machine to unblock the uninstall. You can do that by
installing WSUS 3.0 on another (test) machine, then export the WSUS regkeys
(under
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Update Services]) from that machine
(save as a .reg file), and import the .reg file to the machine that has
uninstall failure. If this is not what you want to do, I would be happy to
email you the .reg file for you to import, but those regkey values may not
reflect your original install, so some minor changes of values may be
needed.
