We just got some new hardware at work and I am working on re-
installing any and all items that I need on the new machine. It is
running Windows 7 Enterprise x64. When I attempt to install WSUS 3.0
(just admin console) it gives me an error:

"You cannot run WSUS 3.0 SP2 under WOW64."

I would think this would work. Am I outta luck?

Well I guess that kind of makes sense....I don't remember seeing a
seperate one. Back to MS I go to see how I missed it....

Thank you for giving me the "headslap" that I needed.

Ok, just skimmed through the WSUS site and I only see an download for
some type of update for SP1. It doesn't appear to even be
a full install or anything. Can someone provide me a link for where to
get this? Thanks.
