    2004 Security Scan problem s/w can't be removed


    The security scan for problem software seems to be flakey. The list of bad software seems to hang around after the recommended action is taken. I have even manually deleted software and it still shows up in the list. Clicking on the START ACTIONS button provides no feedback that it is doing anything, probably because it is not doing anything. I did a RESTART and it was still there. I have done a QUICK SCAN and it reports no new problems, except that the list of problem s/w shows up. Sometimes I can select an individual problem and I am able to click to display a list of actions for that item. Sometimes there is no action list to click on.

    :)

    Please confirm you don't have a list like this:

    e.g. from here (or via the control panel):

    If not, suggests deeper problems. To which uninstall option are you referring? (A picture is worth...)

    Yes that's exactly what I have. If you notice there is an uninstall option next to organize if you scroll to other updates ie. office, but it will disappear once you scroll to the latest updates.

    Problem with 2004 IS0

    It does help if you read the replies *Wink I mentioned the 4GB Fat32 limit in post #6

    As for getting MCT to run on your machines, I showed in post #6 a screenshot of it running on mine.

    In post #18 I suggested troubleshooting steps to get the MCT to run, and if that failed a way to split up an install.wim that's larger than 4GB.
