HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Update Services\Server\Setup Regstry Key missing
Hello everybody,
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 pre-requisites...
2007-05-07 16:33:47 Error MWUSSetup Failed to determine if an higher version of WSUS is installed. Assuming it is not... (Error 0x80070002: The system cannot find the file specified.)

2007-05-07 16:33:49 Error MWUSSetup DoInstall: Wsus setup failed (Error 0x80070002: The system cannot find the file specified.)
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.
Re: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Update Services\Server\Setup Regstry Key missing
In that case you're in an unsupported scenario. WSUS 2.0 or 2.0SP1 is not 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.
Re: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Update Services\Server\Setup Regstry Key missing
Ok, but if this scenario is not supported, why can I upgrade from WSUS2.0 SP1 to WSUS3.0 x64???
If I must do a clean WSUS3.0 Installation, how can I convert the WSUS2.0 SP1 SQL-Database???
Re: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Update Services\Server\Setup Regstry Key missing
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.
Re: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Update Services\Server\SetupRegstry Key missing
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.

I suppose you could run WSUS3 in a 32-bit virtual operating system, though that would mean buying another OS license.
