Can't install Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer

MSBA installation keeps telling me I don't have IE up to date so it will not continue the install. When I try to update IE it tells me I have the latest.
Thought it might be the old MBSA (1.1?) so I uninstalled that and that didn't help.

 

Version 1.2.1 is the one I can't get installed. I used to have 1.1 and it worked OK but I've now uninstalled it in my attempt to get 1.2.1 installed.

 

Well I finally got around to fixing it by going to msnewsgroups where I found :


The MBSA team is currently investigating this issue. Meanwhile, the workaround is to use the "quiet" install. To do this, download mbsasetup. msi to a directory on your hard drive and use the following command to install it:

msiexec /i c:\download location\mbsasetup. msi /q

This will silently install MBSA into %PROGRAM_FILES% \Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer\. You will then be able to run MBSA using Start -Programs - Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 1.2.
