Personally, I see it that the Ancients believed themselves to be so superior at first and that since they were winning the battles, they didnt see the need for a biological based weapon that turned their foe into Humans. It was only by the end of the war did they consider a biological weapon namely the Ancient nanovirus that became the Asurans and by then I think it was far too late.
Anyway, the retrovirus isnt exactly a marvelous weapon since the Wraith have the potential of reverting. So you would have turned numerous Wraith into Humans who now have the potential of infiltrating Human society and begin feeding once their memory returns.—

also maybe they were overwhelmed with winning battles but losing the war and they were probably always on the move from the wraith

It would have been pointless to create a super-weapon that could defeat your enemy if you didn't have a delivery system for it. The Ancients didn't have beaming technology as advanced as the Asgard.
Beaming is not only way deliver it. They could find hybernating wraith ships and fullfilled that full of gas.Asgard in memoriam

If somewho wraith can arrive Atlantis, there could somekind (like fireprotect our factory) nozzle, witch feed that retrovirus-gas. You may think, that Atlantian people trust their shields & etc witch protect that, but why then add sensors wraith detectors?

I don't recall Carson stating he was countinuing Ancient research when he worked with the retrovirus. The Lantaens was known as a race with a lot of ethical considerations. I think the ancients might have found a retrovirus to be unethical. I think the Ancients would see every single Wraith as an individual with the right to choose for it self even being their mortal enemies. For instance the Lanteans didn't use The Ark of Thruth.

Spoiler:The Alterra were an advanced society that had to go into hiding as the Ori grew more violent and more unaccepting of technology. The Alterra finally decided to leave the Alterra Home Galaxy and thats what happned in Ark of Truth. They always had advanced technology ad there was no reverse engineering... at least, not on the Alterra's side.—

The Ancients were arogant *******s. They just thought: Let's send a few warships and weed them out. When they ships to talk with them, the Wraith captured some with ZPMs and cloned warriors and defeated them.
This is what the Ancients should have done:
Use the DNA resequencer on them and made them like hybrids or normal humans.
But they just overestimated themselves.
