| 375119 | 2005-07-25 11:36:00 | Now my next question is if they are all there why are they not listed in the add remove progs section in control panel? If you still can't see them after Sal's suggestion then it probably means the install files have been deleted in Windows Explorer (which of course means the updates can no longer be uninstalled) |

I have a habit of clearing temp files out quite frequently but now I would quite like to get to them (oh how i wish i saved sp2 :p) |

MS may send you a disc with SP2 on it. |

| 375123 | 2005-07-25 13:41:00 | If one does not intend to uninstall any of the service packs and does not wish to have these files using up memory, what is the approved method of removing them without causing problems? If they were saved on a CD could they be used to install the updates on a reinstall without having to download them again? | zqwerty (97) | ||

If they were saved on a CD could they be used to install the updates on a reinstall without having to download them again? Don't think so. There's a setting somewher (win2k), that gives you the option to leave the uninstall files in the windows directory or clean them off. I can't bleeding remeber where it is though (during the install??) |
