WSUS 3.0 Install/Uninstall problems again
Jason Rosolowski
install of WSUS 3.0 and Fei was able to help me get this fixed. I'm now
trying to get WSUS 3.0 on a different server and I'm having problems.
Here's what I've done so far.
WSUS 2.0 SP1 was installed on this server and working fine. I launched the
WSUS 3.0 install (wsus3setupx86.exe) to perform an upgrade. It goes through
the motions, but at the end it fails. I then goto Add/Remove Programs and
see that "Microsoft Windows Server Update Services Service Pack 1" is
listed. So I figure I'll try to remove the old version and just install a
clean version of 3.0. I highlight it, click Remove, and I get a box that
pops up. The heading on the box itself is "Windows Server Update Services
3.0". The error in the box is "Command-line Parameters Not Valid. See log
file c:\docume~1\admini~1.lnf\locals~1\temp\wsussetup.log for details".
Here is the contents of that file:
2007-07-10 15:30:47 Error MWUSSetup Wsus 2.0 is installed. The
only possible setup action is upgrade (Error 0x80041453)
2007-07-10 15:30:48 Error MWUSSetup DoInstall:
ParseCommandLine failed (Error 0x80041453)
So...it looks like WSUS 3.0 was partially installed. I've tried
reinstalling WSUS 2.0 SP1. I've tried uninstalling WSUS2.0 SP1. I've tried
installing WSUS 3.0 again. All of these fail. I've looked on the internet
high and low regarding this error and haven't found anything that has
worked.
I just want to get SUS off my server for now.
Thank you

I am not sure how your installation get screwed up like this. Apparently
your WSUS 2.0 sp1 is not uninstalled completely, while WSUS 3.0 seems to be
installe partially..Did you recently upgrade your OS or something ?
You may need to copy logs for each failed scenario (e.g., upgrade log or
uninstall log) to help trouble shoot.
Thanks,

I experienced same problem with WSUS. I was trying to install windows
server update services sevice pack 1, but it failed. After that, WSUS
didn't work anymore, because it wasn't able to connect to the database.
I hoped that installing WSUS 3.0 could solve the problem, but it didn't
help.
I tried to uninstall WSUS 3.0, but I got this error message that said
"Command-line Parameters Not Valid. See log file
c:\docume~1\admini~1.tie\locals~1\temp\3\wsussetup.log for details"
Contents of this log-file was same as Jason had.
I haven't figure out how to solve the problem, but I think it is the
sp1 update which causes it.

you run WSUS 2.0 sp1 setup to try uninstalling WSUS 2.0 with DB left behind
(you can make this selection on the first page of wsus 2.0 uninstall)?--it
seems 2.0 was installed (though appears broken)

That worked fine. I got WSUS and DB unistalled and then I installed them
again. Now WSUS works. =) Thanks Fei Cao.
