When you select the WSUS server in Patch Manager or any of the packages under Software Publishing Packages, you receive the following:
Error: < Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration or one of its dependencies >
Patch Manager 2.1.1.2005 - Confirmed
Earlier versions - Not Confirmed
The cause is unknown as to why the Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration was missing.
Re-run the Patch Manager Configuration Wizard. The application will reinstall the missing assembly file for Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration, and you can open the WSUS console and Software Packages in Patch Manager.
