[nLite 1.2.1] Windows Installer error code 2738 when


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I get error message like in attachment, trying to install MBSA. Of course, install doesn't proceed so I can't install it.

Setup filename is MBSASetup-EN.msi.

XPSP2 made with nLite 1.2.1 - now, which setting(s) in nLite might be responsible for this error and how to fix it - anyone knows?

here is actual error message:

MBSA has a lot of dependencies (Workstation, Automatic Updates, BITS, see my sig for some others)

Consider using HFNetChk : http://www.download.com/HFNetChk-exe/3000-...4-10173801.html

MBSA is based on it but is much better when using an nlite install because it only reports exploitable flaws : if a file that once had a flaw is missing MBSA will report it though your system is secure.

(windows messenger has a flaw, if you have removed it with nlite, your system is secure; MBSA will report a "patch not installed", HFNetChk won't)

Plus HFNetChk can be more verbose and is faster.

Camarade_Tux: thanks, had no idea MBSA needs needs so many deps (which I'm missing ofc). Will check out HFNetChk, then. Thanks for the tip.
