Problems Installing or Uninstalling MSE due to Error code: 0x80070715

[AWS]

I  recently tried to uninstall MSE using a program called Advanced Uninstaller.  It uninstalled and thenscanned for 'leftover'.  At that time I checked everything, but there were still 10 items that could not bedeleted.  I did not not those items at the time.After many failed attempts, I made a restore point of one week previous and restarted my computer.I then used Revo Uninstaller to try to uninstall the program and I got this message:Microsoft Security Client Installation error:The Microsoft Security Client Installation Wizard can't find files that are necessary to complete theinstallation.  To restart this program, please download the installation again from the Microsoft SecurityClient web site again.I did this and got this message:Error code:  0x0070715.I originally tried to uninstall MSE as I wanted to get rid of the constant warning that my computer was not secure.I went to recommendation and was not able to fix it.  This might have been a false reading as my computer alwaysstated it was secure.  The green light was on.I thought I could uninstall MSE and then reinstall it.  No go for now.I am using Malwarebytes in alongside MSE.  Love MSE, but wish I had not tried to uninstall it as now I can neither install (saysI already have the program) nor uninstall as mention of the error code above is mentioned.Please help.Cheers,John
