KB960353 (Silverlight 2) tries to install on an unsupported processor


we have computer amd duron 650 mhz processor (with no sse support) that tries install kb960353 (silverlight 2) every night , fails error 0x80070643. when try manually install silverlight 2 on computer, says "unable install silverlight. processor not supported". why wsus detect needed though it's not supported, , correct way deal situation? don't need silverlight on computer.

this natural artifact of update metadata definitions. update metadata not contain capability define applicability rules hardware, or noted in thread elsewhere, installation type (server core vs full installation).

in such scenarios update known not applicable platform (amd hardware; server core installation), appropriate management solution place machines in special groups , ensure update not approved group.

in case of silverlight, i'd argue separation of machines having "server" group tree , "workstation" group tree, , approving silverlight "workstation" group tree, leaving silverlight not approved machines in "server" group tree.
