Installing WSUS or SUP does not create my a IIS website? - Why?

I believe my IIS Website was deleted in error.  I have tried the following:

1. Removed WSUS
2. Removed SUP
3. Rebooted
4. Reinstall WSUS
5. Add SUP Role (opted for 8530 port opening)

Firewall is turned off by the way on SUP...

Once i can see in SiteComp.log that the SUP has been created I check the WCM.log only to find the following error:

"Attempting connection to WSUS server: <<SUP ServerName>>, port: 8530, useSSL: False"

"System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond xx.x.x.x:8530"

I suspect my SUP is not binding to the (what should be created but isn't) IIS website and says HTTP 404 not available or something.  Does anyone known how i can manually create it or set it up so the IIS site is created as part of setup (properly)?

thanks.
