WSUS 3.0 SP2 and Windows 7 x64 - admin console won't install

**SKREECH** · 08-02-2010

I have got some new hardware at my work and I am trying to reinstall all the items that I need on this new machine. I have this computer running on Windows 7 64bit edition operating system and I am trying to install WSUS 3.0 with just the admin console but it is giving me some sort of error message like "You cannot run WSUS 3.0 SP2 under WOW64." Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks

Well, the solution is simple, all you need to do is download and install the 64bit edition of the WSUS installation package.

Thanks for giving me a headstart, since it makes sense that I have 64 bit then I would require the same software support. I will go back to the microsoft websites and then try to download the 64 bit version of WSUS.

Alright, when I went to the WSUS website then I was only able to see a download for some type of Service Pack 1 update and also it didnt look like to be even a full install or so. Is there anyone who can give me the link for downloading the WSUS 64 bit edition? Thanks.
