"WUAU22.msi" is intended for users who do not have appropriate Service Pack
installed. This functionality is built in when you upgrade Windows XP to SP1
or Windows 2000 to SP3 and above.

Hi

You are mis-interpreting the error message (and you aren't the first one, it's
badly worded). Wuau22.msi can *only* be installed on Win2k SP2 and Win XP Gold
(SP0). All newer versions has the SUS client already installed, you only need
to configure the client to start using your SUS server (for details, see
chapter "Configuring the Automatic Updates client software" in the "Software
Update Services Deployment White Paper" downloadable from

Fyi, there is a separate newsgroup for SUS:
