Failed to install PSFSIP Error 0x80004005: Unspecified error
MikeB
realizing that WSUS was in use there. I thought MSDE version was the one
being used but apparently it was SQL server. I am trying to reinstall WSUS
server but continue to get Failed to install PSFSIP Error 0x80004005:
Unspecified error.
I can't seem to find what is the cause of this issue. Anyone know of a fix.
I've uninstalled all the .NET stuff and re-installed it.
What is PSFSIP anyway?
Any help would be appreciated.
I've pasted the log in below.

1. regsvr32 /u psfsip.dll
2. rename psfsip.dll in %windir%\system32 to OLD-psfsip.dll
3. Try to re-install.
didn't work.

Given this situation, I'd guess that your WSUS is all confused.
I'd start by :
[a] Uninstalling WSUS including the database (you can keep the content).
[b] Ensuring your SQL Server installation is fully uninstalled.
[c] Double check that there are no vestiges of any WSUS or SQL Server
installation left on the machine.
[d] Run the MSI Cleanup Tool and a Registry Cleaner (or manually search
for the WSUS and SQL Server keys in the HKLM hive).
[e] Triple check that there are no vestigates of any WSUS or SQL Server
installation left on the machine.
[f] Reboot the system.
[g] Reinstall WSUS from scratch.

The two known (suspected?) causes of this error are:
[a] The file is registered, but doesn't exist in the location WSUS
expects to find it.
[b] The file is registered, but is the wrong version.
In either case, unregistering and renaming the file should resolve the
issue; unfortunately, most of the people who have encountered this issue,
have never posted back with any commentary on the success/failure of this
issue.

Hopefully you uninstalled all of the =application= software that uses .NET,
or uninstalling the underlying .NET Framework might have just complicated
the problem.

It's the "Crypto SIP" provider for signing and verifying *.PSF files (Patch
Storage Files).

process of a new server build and reload of WSUS. I tried cleaning the
registy and just about everything else i could think of or find on other
newsgroups and have had no luck. Just didn't want to spend anymore time with
it.
thanks again.

framework issue and I was able to get a .net 2 framework cleaner tool from
the tech. It was called simply cleanup_tool.exe. Google search it and you'll
find it
She ran it about 3 times and then we rebooted and reinstalled
If it fails again go to start and run. type in microsoft.net and it will
open a folder. delete the the v2 .net stuff from the framework folder and try
again .net installs again. Eventually WSUS did install after some cleanup of
the .net stuff.
I hope this will help other people resolve some issues with .net and WSUS
playing together.

Thanks for the postback Mike!
This is, interestingly enough, the =first= feedback in over two years we've
ever received in this group concerning actual resolution of the PSFSIP error
other than the unregister/rename solutions previously presented (which have
never, to my knowledge, been confirmed as a functional solution).
I've pocketed the .NET Framework cleanup tool in my bag of tricks.
