Microsoft.Update.ServiceManager AddScanPackageService

From the general looks of things, noone monitors this newsgroup but here goes
anyway...

Using the code from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...mmunityContent
(tweaked to handle new file/path), I keep getting "Invalid procedure call or
argument".

Windows XP SP2
wuapi.dll 7.0.6000.381

Upon rewriting the code for VB.NET and extracting the exception, I get
"Value does not fall within the expected range" at the AddScanPackageService
call. This happens when referencing various versions of the wuapi.dll.

Ideas?

Thanks in advance...

Without seeing anything other than what's in the Subject line:

> Microsoft.Update.ServiceManager AddScanPackageService

The page shows:

UpdateServiceManager.AddScanPackageService

Which is it, the first or second ?
Check the last post, " This code is 100% OK " and ensure that either you
change the name to "<path>\wsusscn2.cab" or rename wsusscn2.cab to
wsusscan.cab.

If none of the above is pertinent, suggest you post to the WSUS NG for
further assistance as this NG deals with the client-side of Windows Update:

Hello,

UpdateServiceManager is an instance of Microsoft.Update.ServiceManager and I
was attempting to call AddScanPackageService and getting a not so useful
error message:
"Invalid procedure call..." - OR - "Value does not fall..."

I made the assumption it was looking at the third paramter
(UpdateServiceOption flag), however, I accidentally figured out that it is in
fact the path... The path MUST be non UNC and it the cab is not seen in the
local directory. (So, a limitation in the path masked by poor error
description...)

Thanks for the reply...

Oops... let me rephrase. No network drives... Lousy limitation.

Thanks
