To address an issue with the Export of metadata on the WSUS server, we installed a hotfix from MS per article 2819484. Now the WPP console gives an error of "Server Version different from console version, you won't be able to publish any updates" when it is started. This happens with the latest WPP download. Is there a way to fix this?
Comments: KB2819484 is an HotFix (MSU file) that Microsoft released to fix an issue when exporting updates. This kb doesn't create usual keys in registry, so hard to detect. Files version for the API dll are not updated accordingly to the console version ! So cannot rely on this to detect console version. The best way to fix this, is to assume that the console have always the same version than the server (when WPP run directly on the Wsus server). But when WPP run on an administrative computer, if this hotfix is installed, I won't be able to detect it.
