HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Update Services\Server\Setup Regstry Key missing

I want to migrate WSUS2.0SP1 to WSUS3.0, but the installation fails with the
following failures:
2007-05-07 16:33:47 Success MWUSSetup Validating

My problem is, that the registry Key ..\Setup did not exist!
I have allready reinstalled WSUS2.0SP1, but it doesn't change anything.
Did somebody have any ideas?
Thanks for any help.

middle of upgrade earlier, which results in regkey being deleted but WSUS
2.0 is not uninstalled completed.
I believe in that case if you reinstall WSUS 2.0 sp1, then you could see an
*uninstallation* process rather than a *reinstallation*. If you did a
successful installation, then the regkey should be there and an upgrade to
3.0 should be good to go.

I'm sorry, but this is a clean WSUS2.0SP1 installation on a new Windows
Server 2003 R2 x64, not an upgrade.
I also have uninstalled and installed WSUS for two times! There is now key
in the registry anymore.

supported on x64 and as you've noticed the upgrade will not work. You'll
need to do a clean install of WSUS 3.0.

Uh... again...you *cannot*.
WSUS 2.0 only installs (is supported on) 32-bit systems.
WSUS 3.0 x64 *cannot* be installed on 64-bit systems.
THUS.. it is *impossible* to upgrade WSUS 2.0 to WSUS 3.0 x64 in any
conceivable scenario.

The same way you would migrate any other 32-bit database to a 64-bit
database server.
[1] Seek out a qualified DBA to help.
[2] Start from scratch.

Dirk... the WSUS2.0 installation on your R2 x64 environment is an
*UNSUPPORTED* installation.
Ergo, upgrading WSUS 2.0 on anything "x64" to WSUS 3.0 x64 is an
*UNSUPPORTED* operation.
Your only option is to uninstall WSUS 2.0 and install a fresh WSUS 3.0 x64.
As for migrating the database... as noted in a previous message, that's a
function of any 32-bit database migration to a 64-bit database, and I'd
recommend seeking out a SQL Server DBA qualified in that particular process.
Alternatively, since that database was running on an unsupported
environment, you might want to consider installing a fresh, *supported*,
database environment, and synchronizing from scratch. The /content/ can be
left in place and reused.

This line should have read: WSUS 3.0 x64 *cannot* be installed on 32-bit
systems

Your existing installation of WSUS 2.0 service pack 1 is unsupported, because it
is running on a 64-bit operating system.
This means not only that you can't depend on the updater working properly (which
it didn't) but also that you can't depend on it telling you whether it is going
to work or not.
> If I must do a clean WSUS3.0 Installation, how can I convert the WSUS2.0 SP1 SQL-Database???
I suppose you could run WSUS3 in a 32-bit virtual operating system, though that
would mean buying another OS license.
Harry.
