chrisoborski Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) I'm Installing hotfixes through "SVCPACK.INF" and im using the correct switches to install hotfixes. Every thing is good except Add/Remove programs list is showing Hotfixes even though i specified "/N" switch. I don't get it whats the point of using the switch if the $NtUninstall folder isn't used why should Hotfix appear when uninstalling isn't an option?? Its possible i'm mistaken?? I know i could manually remove reg entries for each hotfix through *.reg file. I would like to do this the right way if there is such a way. I'm stumped. I've looked around through the forums and google an couldn't find a further explanation. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/262841/ Didn't have any indepth info either. I'd appreciate any helpThanks again....SVCPACK.INF Edited July 4, 2010 by chrisoborski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Registry entries are always written by the update package for "Add or Remove Programs" by design. This creates an easily accessible record of the updates installed on the machine, including support links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 ARP shows the installed hotfixes, whether or not they can be removed. This appears to be expected behavior, as I've just built a quick test to verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
