WSUS SP1 Upgrade fails
Came across a problem when upgrading to WSUS SP1 earlier today. If you’ve moved your WSUS database as per my post your upgrade will fail with the following:
Success MWUSSetup Validating pre-requisites... Success MWUSSetup Creating database backup... Success MWUSSetup The SQL server instance is remote. No database backup will be created Success MWUSSetup Removing Wsus... Error MWUSSetup RemoveWsus: MWUS Uninstall Failed (Error 0x80070643: Fatal error during installation.) Error MWUSSetup C UpgradeDriver::PerformSetup: Failed to remove earlier version of WSUS (Error 0x80070643: Fatal error during installation.) Error MWUSSetup C SetupDriver::LaunchSetup: Setup failed (Error 0x80070643: Fatal error during installation.)
The solution is to make sure the following registry keys are set:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Update Services\Server\Setup] "SqlInstanceIsRemote"=dword:00000001 "wYukonInstalled"=dword:00000000
Great solution – worked also for me!
