Hello,

I have been attempting to install the above on a fully patched Windows 2000 
server.  I have followed the "Step by Step Guide to Getting Started with 
Microsoft Windows Server Update Services on Windows 2000 Server" and am 
encountering an error after the epansion on the executable 
wsus2-kb919004-x86.exe:
-a database server could not be detected

Here are the entries in the \Program Files\Update Services\Logs log file:

2007-08-20 15:20:11  Success   MWUSSetup          WSUS Server Setup Started.

MSDE has been installed along with the MS03-031 patch.  Can someone please 
offer some assitance or point out if I am missing something.

Thanks,
ETF

You'll probably get more of a response in the microsoft.public.windowsupdate 
newsgroup.
