New Installation Failing w/Error: The update could not be found.

On a new 2008 R2 server (Standard), using the Add Roles Wizard, I tried adding WSUS but it fails with "The update cound not be found. There may be a network connection issue. Click here for more information."
Clicking there takes me to the "Resolving WSUS issues" pages with refereces to Microsoft. The first is the most relevent:
"If you receive the message “The update could not be found. There may be a network connection issue.” when you try to install WSUS, refer to the information in the Network and Sharing Center Troubleshooting Guide."
Clicking on the link to the "Network and Sharing Center Troubleshooting Guide http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=140135" takes me there (so there are no connectivity issues) but nothing seems to apply to my issue. I can browse the internet just fine and have even went in and manually installed various required components like IIS, .NET Framework 3.5.1, and Windows Internal Database but still no luck. I even downloaded the file "WSUS30-KB972455-x64" and tried running that without success. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.

To install WSUS as a role, the candidate server must either have an active Internet connection to obtain the WSUS installation package from Microsoft Update, or be configured to update from an existing WSUS server with the WSUS3SP2 Dynamic Installer package already approved. If the R2 server is configured to use WSUS and the WSUS3SP2 Dynamic Installer package is not approved for installation for the group(s) in which the R2 server is a member, then you may also encounter this situation.

That's hard to say. Running the installer should not have presented any issues, but then you've not shared the exact details of that particular failure, which almost certainly would have been different from the previous failures encountered using Server Manager. Of course, successfully running the installer presumes that the server has been properly prepared and prerequisites have been properly installed and configured. I would be concerned that you don't seem to have referenced and followed the explicit instructions documented in either the Step By Step Guide or the Deployment Guide, so this is a high probability source of the cause. (Note: .NET Framework 3.5.1 is NOT a required component, the Windows Internal Database does not require manual installation for WSUS, and if IIS7 is not properly configured with the exact requirements for WSUS, the installation will fail.)Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCITP:EA, MCDBA, MCSA

  • With the latest update I get the following error: The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again; suggestions, advice, help.

    Help>About Firefox> says I am using Firefox/3.6.10./GTB7.1 I get a note from Mozilla that there is an update. I download it after granting permission to change my machine. I say OK. A green bar slides across the monitor announcing that the update is being downloaded. When I then assume it is being installed I get the following error: The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again. There are no other copies running. The machine is not on a network.

    Thanks for the info about Trojan. It may be the problem. Meanwhile I went to Admin/Owner side and did some cleaning -- including trying to reload my Favorite/Bookmarks that have always carried forth from previous levels of Windows XP and earlier.
    The new computer here did not grab the Bookmarks from the previous, and yesterday I thought I had them loaded, and today went to Worker-Bee side and they are not showing.
    About those add-ons... I have no idea, but think I got everything up to date yesterday. I will look at your earlier reply tomorrow or this weekend when I have more time at home to learn from it.
    Thank you for your time in helping.

  • Crystal report error (The table '' could not be found)

    Dear Expert,
    As I know, the end user who don't want to edit the crystal report design no need to buy crystal report,right?
    Using the 'Crystal reports for SAP B1', they already view the report.
    But, how about, if I had created one crystal report, and then I want to distribute to end user. When I load the report on user machine that dont have crystal report, the system shown an error (The table '' could not be found).
    I think, maybe because of the database location. When I create the report, of course I made connection to my machine as a source of database location. But, how i'm going to change the database location to user machine?
    Is it when we login into SAP, did SAP auto detect the new location source? And will auto create connection to the crystal report?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi ,
    We do not create the database connection for the end user. the end user must have the same database connection as it is set up on your machine. The report is looking for the same connection, with the same access into the database.
    Best regards,
    Jadie

    Hi,
    This error message appears when the user does not have sufficient rights to the business view on which the report is based.
    To resolve this error message, open the Business View Manager and verify that the user's rights are set up correctly.
    To view a report based on a business view, the user or the group to which the user belongs, must have 'View' rights to the business view. Also, verify that none of the groups, including the Everyone group, to which the user belongs, has been explicitly denied 'View' rights.
    If this does'nt help try to update database driver.
    Make the copy of database and save it with different name ( without underscore) and point the crystal report to it.
    Regards,
    Shweta

  • Error: ' The Update could not be installed (patch apply failed)' . It keeps trying to install this patch but my version is the latest one!!

    I have the latest version of firefox. I know this because your website says so. But for some reason, my current firefox keeps trying to install a new version by "trying" to install a patch. But it fails every time.
    I cant say exactly when this started. A few weeks ago, firefox was behaving erratically (crashing for no reason at every launch due to some video plugin fail) but i uninstalled and reinstalled (a few times) and it was fine after the last one.

    If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
    You can also delete the active-update.xml file.

  • InfoView - Error in File ...The table could not be found

    When I run the a report out of Crystal Reports 2008 Developer using a 32 bit ODBC data source Microsoft Visual FOxPro Driver, the report runs fine.   All of my reports run fine in the Crystal Developer
    But when I run the same report in Java SAP BusinessObjects InfoView Enterprixe XI, the same report would get an error:  The Table could not be found.   Other errors I would get:  Encapsulating page failed.  None of the reports work in InfoView, but they would work in the Crystal Developer.
    Our environment is Windows Server 2008 R2 on a 64-bit Dell PowerEdge Server.

    Hello,
    If you create the System DSN on the Server and test the connection does it work? If it does then BOE either can't find the DBF file or it doesn't have access to the folder.
    Check the permissions on the folder where the database files reside, if they are not local then map the driver where they do exist.

  • The DLL could not be found error

    I have upgraded the IMAQdx on Real-Time Desktop target from 3.7 to 3.8 version. After that all imax functions in LabVIEW and MAX return same IMAXdx error "The DLL could not be found". Does anybody know what happens and how to fix this problem? I have tried uninstall the IMAQdx and then insall it again. This does not help.
    Sergey

    Yes, it is activated on my laptop that I use to upload software to real-time target (real-time desktop on NI 8354). Unfortunately I cannot find the procedure to activate IMAQdx on real-time. It works fine before IMAQdx upgrade and I cannot remember any additional actions I have performed when I have install it first time.

  • The server could not be found on the network ORA-12154

    Hi All,
    I have problem with one application. She run with Oracle DB. I installed Win2008R2 x64 and Oracle DB 32bit on the same server. I tried connect to DB via Oracle SQL Developer and SQL Plus and both run without problem, but when I insert the same parameters into application OpenText Content Server 10, then I see this Error:

  • ERROR: "The iPhone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start.?"

    I have iTunes 10.5 (whatever the most updated is) with the new iPhone 4S. Its new, i never dropped it, and i'm 99.99999% confident there's nothing wrong with it.
    With that in mind, these last few days this strange error, "the iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start"... It used to sync properly but now it just doesn't sync at all.
    I have Windows Vista also. This is not normal and i've never seen this before.
    What can I do to fix this error?

    The way I fixed this (though I'm using a iTouch 4G): disconnect your iPhone from the computer, shut down iTunes, then reset your iPhone by holding the Power/Sleep & Home buttons together for 10 seconds. Restart iTunes, then when your iPhone restarts, reconnect it to the computer, and everything should work fine

    If you can't install on top of the current installation then you need to delete or rename the current Firefox program folder to do a clean install.
    It is possible that your security software is using or locking files, so you can try to temporarily disable that software during the installation.
