Tachikoma Posted July 20, 2004 Author Share Posted July 20, 2004 Unfortunately that will only disable or enable the the settings for it. When AutoUpdate=off in winnt.sif it actually isn't installed.I need to install the component again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanoll Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I like to remove hide from all entries in sysoc.inf myself.
