I wonder which method of updates, hotfixes or ie9 integration is clean.

in xp nlite or hfslip completely replace orjinal files with updates, so this hotfixes were not uninstallable.

in rt7lite or dism method, for example ie9 integration, is ie8 backed up anywhere? is ie9 can be uninstall further?

or it is a clean integration without uninstall option?

is integration of 25-30 .msu hotfix cause many garbage after in winsxs or &KBxxxxx& folders such as in xp.

as I know, IE8 backup files are still in winsxs folder even I integrated IE9 into the image and the IE9 works fine in add or remove feature.

In this thread, MagicAndre1981 suggested a way to remove IE 8, for those who have IE 9 installed. I have neither tested it yet, nor thought of a way to integrate the command to RT 7 Lite.

run this command twice from an command prompt (cmd.exe) with adminrights:

FORFILES /P %WINDIR%\servicing\Packages /M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-*8.*.mum /c "cmd /c echo Uninstalling package @fname && start /w pkgmgr /up:@fname /norestart"

this should remove the IE8 files with the help of the command line.

Make a backup first.
