I've been spending 2 very frustrating weeks attempting to install WSUS on a new Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 box. First, the install bombed with a message informing me that IIS could not be installed because of "network connection error". There
is no network connection problem on this box. So, I installed IIS separately--successfully too, if you can believe it.
Then, I returned to the WSUS install. Once again, the WSUS role install says it needs to install IIS, which is already installed. So I allow the WSUS role addition to install IIS again. Once again, the WSUS install bombs because "IIS could
not be installed".
Is this what MS calls progress? I've never had trouble installing either WSUS or IIS on Windows Server 2003. What is wrong with W2k8? I need an MS expert to pipe in here please.
Thanks.
