Windows Server Update Services 3.0

I've spent 3 days to perform installation for Microsoft Windows Server Update Services 3.0 and here is my conclusion:

1. Make sure you have all prerequisites installed:
* Windows Server 2003 SP1 or later
* IIS 6.0 or later
* Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
* Microsoft Management Console 3.0
* Microsoft Report Viewer
2. Beside those prerequisites, I personally suggest installation of Windows Script 5.7 for Windows Server 2003 (require genuine validation) which I found out from googling my problem that failed the WSUS 3.0 installation

3. If you get the following during WSUS 3.0 installation and it say "Configuring database":
A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or
package vendor.
First thing you do is digging into Event Log. In my case it said:
Cannot create file 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSMSI\SSEE\MSSQL.2005\MSSQL\DATA\SUSDB.mdf' because it already exists. Change the file path or the file name, and retry the operation.
My resolution is manually delete the SUSDB.MDF and SUSDB_LOG.LDF under directory
C:\WINDOWS\SYSMSI\SSEE\MSSQL.2005\MSSQL\Data
Volia, it solves everything and I FINALLY got the WSUS 3.0 installed on Windows 2003 SBS.
