MBSA 2.0

[Guest]

I just downloaded the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2.0 (beta) and
can't get it to run. I keep getting an error message that says "The catalog
file is damaged or an invalid catalog." What does this mean? I had no
problems with MBSA 1.2.1. I uninstalled Version 1.2.1 before the download. I
uninstalled version 2.0, reinstalled 1.2.1 then reinstalled 2.0 on top of
1.2.1 but it didn't help. Anyone have a suggestion?

Your downloaded file may be bad. Try downloading it again.

I already have deleated and downloaded three times in total. I also ran
Registry Mechanic and cleaned up after each deleation. Any other ideas?

It indicates that the wsusscan.cab downloaded was corrupted.You can
download Wsusscan.cab from:-

Don't use third party reg cleaners.
Delete your temporary IE cache and then try the download again.

Thanks, your solution seems to point in the right direction. Trouble is, I
had no idea where to put the download so I placed a copy of it in the MBSA 2
folder. This didn't correct the problem. I'm going to try to set several
spyware programs to accept wsuscan.cab and try downloading again?
