Re: Upgrade Advisor hangs

"Marc",

I am sorry that you are hitting this issue. I want to help, but this is not
really a Windows Update issue. Please repost your question in the following
newsgroup, as you may get a much more experienced, timely, and knowledgeable
response.

microsoft.public.windows.server.setup

Pat Walters [MSFT]
