ERROR: Unsupported Operating System (x64) on Win 7 x64

[Alphanumeric]

This probably isn't the right thread for this but the problems thread is locked.

Update Generator runs fine and downloads packages but when I try to run the installer it states:
"Determining system properties...
ERROR: Unsupported Operating System (x64)"

I am running Win7 x64 with SP1 pre-installed. Any idea how to fix this or is there a commandline argument to skip system checking???

Did you select x64 Global in the Win7 section of Update generator?
If you selected x86 global you downloaded updates for 32Bit Win7

Are you sure, it says "ERROR: Unsupported Operating System (x64)" and not "ERROR: Unsupported Operating System (w61 x64)"?

Hallo, ich habe das gleiche Problem

Woran kann das liegen?? Habe nur den Haken bei x64 Global im Update generator gemacht......

Spontan sieht mir das eher nach einem Problem mit dem Windows Script Host (WSH) aus.
Bitte einmal .\client\cmd\DetermineSystemProperties.vbs ausführen und das Ergebnis hier posten.

Viele Grüße

Sieht nach einem nicht vorhandenem WMI service aus, der von WSUSOU benötigt wird;

So I found out that if I restart windows and double click WSUS installer desktop shortcut to run immediately while the desktop loads it will run normally without any problems. However, if I delay in running the installer immediately it displays the above error about unrecognised operating system. Very strange...

@harry WMI service is installed properly and running on startup normally. No issues.

@limos I have exactly the same error number 80070424 for windows script host when I run the DetermineSystemProperties.vbs script. It's apparently not an installed service.

@aker yea just (x64) not (w61 x64)

@Denniss yes I selected x64 as well as x86, they downloaded fine and install fine whenever I can get past this error on startup. Nothing to do with the updates themselves.

Could you create a new user and test it there?
Just to check, if it is user-dependent or machine-wide.
