    Error 0x80070643 when installing WSUS 3.0 on Win2k3 Server SP2

    I am trying to upgrade from WSUS 2 to WSUS 3 but it is failing with an error message that states "Error 0x80070643: Fatal error during installation". Since it uninstalled the WSUS 2 so I tried installing WSUS 3 again, but everytime I got the same error message on my Windows 2003 Server with service pack 2. Check out the below WSUSSetup.log file that I have pasted:

    1: SetupSelfupdateTree: This is getting called from selfupdate.msi
    1: SetupSelfupdateTree: Obtaining arguments
    1: SetupSelfupdateTree: Read gWusWebSiteIndex from Args. Value: 0
    1: SetupSelfupdateTree: Read szTargetDirPath from Args. Value:
    D:\Program Files\Update Services\
    1: SetupSelfupdateTree: Leaving GetWUSWebSiteIndex.
    1: SetupSelfupdateTree: Failed to instantiate
    Scripting.FileSystemObject. Error(429) : ActiveX component can't create object
    1: SetupSelfupdateTree: szSelfupdateInstallPath=
    1: SetupSelfupdateTree: CopyIdentFiles 1 failed.. Error(0) :

    And it then does a rollback. Whereas on the VM I get the below:

    1: SetupSelfupdateTree: This is getting called from selfupdate.msi
    1: SetupSelfupdateTree: Obtaining arguments
    1: SetupSelfupdateTree: Read gWusWebSiteIndex from Args. Value: 0

    Can anyone please help me with this issue?

    Are you by any chance having the Windows Script Host installed or enabled on the computer?

    Thanks a bunch because that seems to be the problem. After I installed Windows Script Host and restarted then WSUS 3 installed properly without any issues.
