MBSA does not download and install patches.

Open cmd and then cd to install directory of MBSA and run
mbsacli /?

All MS security updates are installed manually only on my system.
Other users are reporting always a lot of problems with Windows Update,
so I do not use it at all since the beginning.

MBSA 2.0 installed. Only the OS is from MS.
No other MS software is present.
I want to use MSBA for analyse purposes only.
I don't wish it is downloading or installing any software components.
I am interested in the reports it can create only.

What requirements have to be met on the system the MBSA can do this task ?
I mean such topics how
- required firewall rules
- required services to run
- other settings to be required.

Here one detail yet on my system:
IE is not allowed to be active on the system at all.
An alternative web browser is installed and ebabled only
for any purposes.

kerio 4.2.2 pfw free
nod32, actual release
ewido software , actual release
