I am currently trying to install WSUS on a Windows 2000 Server.

I have gone through the setuping up of the IIS SQL server and am currently trying to install the WSUS.

I have double clicked on WSUSSetup.exe and have gone through the steps with no problem.

I get to the stage where it states "copying files" with the progress bar moving about 1/4 of the way and getting stuck.

I have left it overnight with no progress in the installation.

The only way I can stop the installation is to kill the process through the task manager.

I must be missing some very basic step here somewhere.

Thanks in advance.

try reintalling from scratch. make sure you remove and reinstall BITS program as well. if that doesn't work download it again. might be a corrupted file.

If your not running the default WMSDE and using SQL. I believe you need o create an instance on the SQL before starting the installation. Cheers
