Repost: Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer. Still unresolved problem.

[alexB]

Thank you Ronnie. I tried it and got an error:

"The module vbscript.dll was loaded but the call to DLLRegisterServer failed
with error 0x80004005

For more information about the problem search online using the error code as
a search item.

I did a bit of search. I want to mention that I am an MSDN Pro subscriber
and I get my product keys from a MS website. I get DVDs from them via US
mail. I am saying all this since some of the "literature" on the subject of
this mysterious error which appears to be vast mention pirating software,
etc. I do not think my systems have anything to do with it

I am wondering if you would suggest the next step?

Thanks, - A.

That's E_FAIL, not a helpful error. You could try to trace through it in
windbg or a registry monitor until it hits the fail point. =\

Thank you. I just want to get your opinion as to the importance of this dll
for me to finish the Installation of Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer?
Is it crucial or the person who advised it in the first place made an
educated guess?


Thanks.

That sounds like an educated guess to me. I'd be impressed if MBSA was
doing anything interesting with VBScript. I'd try to see if it was possible
to progress without it.
