KB908519 install errors eudcedit.exe

I've tried twice now to let WSUS install KB908519 to a win2000 Server.
After reboot, terminal services does not work -- can't RDP to it.

In the KB908519.log file, I have serveral errors. The registry key for
eudcedit.exe is particularly interesting. I inded do not have that key
in the registry, but the file exists in the \winnt\system32 folder.

Any clues?

I suspect it's a permissions problem. As usual the messages and codes
are not terribly useful by themselves.

For example, assuming that the above hex value is normally presented
in documentation as a decimal number, let's search for it:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro.../winupdte.mspx

(MSN search for
61713 site:microsoft.com
)

<extract>
61713
STATUS_INVALID_DIRID_SECTION
<extract>


OK... That's a clue but I suspect it represents a guess about what is wrong
and I suspect it is only proving that the code has some relevance due to the
context.

In order to find out what it really means I would try tracing with RegMon
all the the registry accesses the update is making. For more details on
how to do that, including how to use FileMon to make finding the
appropriate records in the RegMon trace easier, please see Andy Jones
thread from last week.
