Update working again

I have managed to resolve my Win2kServer update issue. Perhaps this may help
someone else. After many hours of research and correspondence with
Microsoft, I was informed by a third party that my version of APC POWERCHUTE
BUSINESS EDITION SOFTWARE was no longer supported. I was running v.6. This
lack of support screwed my whole server up...something to do with Java. I
updated to v. 7 and the server came back to life. Windows Update worked
again, Windows Installer became operational, everything worked as it should.
If You are running an older version of APC POWERCHUTE BUSINESS EDITION
SOFTWARE then upgrade here

Hope this info can help a few people

Much-discussed after the Aug-05 updates were released:
