Does MBSA validate the existence of software updates by checking only registry keys?
MBSA examines several values before MBSA reports on the status of a software update. MBSA first examines the registry key that is associated with the software update. MBSA then examines the version and checksum of every file in the software update. MBSA also looks for any registry keys that are required by the software update. If all these values match, MBSA identifies the software update as installed. If any one of these tests do not work, MBSA either identifies the software update as not installed or flags the software update as a warning, depending on the results of the check.
