I'm unable to get WSUS 3.0SP1 to install on Server 2008 Standard
x64. I had the IIS7 and WSUS roles installed, but IIS was giving me
all sorts of configuration errors, so I removed both the IIS and WSUS
roles (since one is dependent on the other), rebooted, and added the
IIS role. I've tried to re-add the WSUS role, but Server Manager just
hangs at "Searching for Updates..." forever.
So I downloaded the WSUS 3.0 SP1 package manually and tried to run
the install. It just hangs with the message "Setup is preparing to
install Windows Server Update Services 3.0 SP1" (it ran all night and
didn't progress).
What's the deal here? How can I diagnose these issues?

Are you using the 64-bit installer for WSUS 3.0 SP1?

Also, I believe WSUS needs to have the IIS6 compatibility feature installed.

Have you reviewed the Release Notes and Deployment Guide for all issues and
instructions related to installing WSUS?
Particularly as relates to the 64-bit environment =and= Windows Server
2008?

Yes. I've tried re-adding it both from the Server Roles wizard and
by downloading the x64 package.

Yes the IIS6 role services/features are installed.

I just reviewed this and nothing seems obvious. I tried removing the
Windows Internal Database instance in case that was the issue but the
standalone installer still hangs in the "preparing to install" phase
and the Add Roles Wizard hangs at the "searching for updates" phase.
What else?

Well I figured it out or at least fixed it.
I had added the Hyper-V role to the server, and after a bit of
testing with Hyper-V decided that, at least for my P2V testing/
conversion purposes, VMWare Server was better for me. So I removed
the Hyper-V role, and suddenly Windows Updates started working better,
and I was able to reinstall WSUS.
I also had the same problem with WSUS after reinstalling that I had
previously, and what prompted me to remove/reinstall in the first
place. After installing WSUS, II7 would return blank/empty pages for
all requests, and thus WSUS was broken since its management interface
is entirely delivered via IIS. After turning on failed request
tracing, I found that the Dynamic Compression Module wasn't loading
and was returning this error: " The specified module could not be
found. (0x8007007e)". I went into the Modules config for IIS7 on my
server, and clicked through the module config to re-select the DLL.
It was set to "%systemdrive%\Windows\System32\inetsrv\compdyn.dll". I
selected the same file, and it changed to "C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv
\compdyn.dll". I restarted IIS and all was well.
Interestingly, I think this was the only module that used the
%systemdrive% reference, so I'm guessing that the WSUS3-IIS7 installer
did this and it doesn't work for some reason in the IIS config.
