Moderators Andavari Posted December 14, 2010 Moderators Share Posted December 14, 2010 There's also this where you may need to rebuild the WMI database for Security Center to properly report the status of installed security software such as antivirus.

Guest Shane0500 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Tried the other steps to fix the main problem, now another problem! 1. Uninstalled MSE 2. Got an error upon uninstall 3. Manually deleted the files and registry stuff related to MSE 4. Cant install MSE 2.0 I have the mseinstall.exe file saved, I get to the ready to install part, then: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cannot complete the Security Essentials installation An error has prevented The Security Essentials setup wizard from completing successfully. Please restart your computer and try again. Error Code:0x80070463 I have restarted and tried again The windows installer service starts automatically on startup I even used the OneCare cleanup tool (removed quite a lot of junk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted December 18, 2010 Moderators Share Posted December 18, 2010 Is your error code 0x80070463 as you say, or is it as in the thread below 0X80070643 ?

Moderators hazelnut Posted December 18, 2010 Moderators Share Posted December 18, 2010 Although it is no longer downloadable from Microsoft because it had problems with Microsoft office files, it may be worthwhile trying the Windows Installer CleanUp Tool still available from here http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html Look for Microsoft Security Essentials in the list and click remove, then reboot.

Guest Shane0500 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Everything working beautifully now, security center shows green for antivirus, that problem solved. MSE installed nicely, updated and running without problems, I like the wierd spiderweb layout of version 2. Thank you for helping me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
