Dear Lord! I have the same problem. I've found nothing to alleviate this issue. WSUS is supposed to be such a wonderful tool, I've always had great luck with it in the past, UNTIL NOW. I can't uninstall, I can't reinstall because it wants to uninstall. Now it's listed in my add/remove list with no buttons for uninstall or anything. I think I'll take the high road and wipe the server(s). I think with all the time I've spent on this, I could have wiped and redone the servers twice by now... Sorry to be of no help

You will have to post the setup (uninstall) log (%temp%\WSUSSetup*.log) for each senario to let's figure out the problem.

Re: Manually remove WSUS 3.0 "Fei Cao \(MSFT\)" <feicao[ at ]online.microsoft.com> 7/11/2007 5:48:34 PM Pete, Per our email exchange your issue falls to the same sympton as others in this mail group. I am copying the following out to share with peers. ------------- It appears you installed WSUS 3.0 using Windows Internal Database, but the regkey for Windows Internal Database somehow is gone or Windows Internal Database could be unexpectedly removed already in your box. Either way, one workaround I can think of is to go to the regkey [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Update Services\Server\Setup], change the value for "wYukonInstalled" from 1 to 0, then run the unstall --you need to choose to leave Database behind on the first page of uninstall wizard.
