Here is the scenario. SQL server was uninstalled from the server not realizing that WSUS was in use there. I thought MSDE version was the one being used but apparently it was SQL server. I am trying to reinstall WSUS server but continue to get Failed to install PSFSIP Error 0x80004005: Unspecified error.
I can't seem to find what is the cause of this issue. Anyone know of a fix. I've uninstalled all the .NET stuff and re-installed it.
What is PSFSIP anyway? Any help would be appreciated.
I've pasted the log in below.

2. rename psfsip.dll in %windir%\system32 to OLD-psfsip.dll
3. Try to re-install.
didn't work.
