System: Windows Home Server
Browser: IE8
WUA: Windows Update Agent 7.2.6001.788 - Installed 10/21/2009 via
Automatic Updates (Note this was the last update installed.)
I am unable to update my system due the error listed in the subject. The
page displays the following message:
"The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are
trying to view. The options provided below might help you solve the problem."
The Automatic Update control panel indicates that the Automatic Updates
service is enabled and set to "Automatic (recommended)". The Services
management tool indicates that the service is "Started".
However the Microsoft Updates page directs me to enable the AU service.
Note: There are no related errors in the event logs.
I've tried the following:
Disable "Microsoft Updates" => "Windows Updates" fails the same way and
indicates that AU should be enabled.
Reinstalling the Windows Update Agent => "WUA is already installed. No
changes made."
Removing the contents of %WINDIR%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore
REGSRV => No difference in observable behavior
Please disregard this post as I have resolved the issue. I executed the
following in a cmd window:
C:\>windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe /?
This produced the following help information:
/wuforce
/quiet
/norestart
I ran the installer with the /wuforce option and that resolved the issues
detailed below.
