If you are saying that the files needed to run the automatic update service are not in the system 32 folder, then why not just transfer them from your XP disc to the folder.

define it doesnt work?possible that it cant find files it needs to install the service, find them in i386 of your distribution also it needs a reboot afterwoods

when you run command line which installs AU service you need following:

%windir%\inf\I386\WUAUCLT.EX_

%windir%\inf\I386\WUAUENG.DL_

%windir%\inf\I386\WUAUSERV.DL_

and it should work with no problem, make sure these files are cabbed not just renamed otherwise it wont work.

also dont try to fix you AU service with old file versions if you are running SP2 get new versions.

hope that helps.
