Looks like something doesn't exist that the installer expects to exist.

Can you please provide the specific details of how and where you are trying
to install WSUS?

Also, at the end of the WSUSSetup.log there should be a reference to a more
detailed installer log; please review that log for any additional
information of relevance.

I have facing the same an error. So I checked the prerequisite for WSUS
installation in WSUS3.0 SP2 Deployment Guide.
Finally, I found the solution is

In the Components list, select Application Server. Click Details and make
sure that ASP.NET is selected


Have a nice day
