That should only be deployed through MU if using an older version of WLMail, Msgr, PhotoGallery etc..

You might wish to upgrade to the latest version(s) of the WL Essentials, then remove the Sign-in assistant if that is your intent.

That's not the same version installed on my network. I would have to
use: msiexec /x {9422C8EA-B0C6-4197-B8FC-DC797658CA00}
Maybe someone else will need this one.

Thanks for that!

...winston n/a posts	Re: CAN YOU Help us??? (KB 947449) installed 3 days in a row? That should only be deployed through MU if using an older version of WLMail, Msgr, PhotoGallery etc.. You might wish to upgrade to the latest version(s) of the WL Essentials, then remove the Sign-in assistant if that is your intent. -- ...winston ms-mvp mail "Power Point" <PowerPoint@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:0BABAB90-1598-4EFD-9F98-75D475461C7A@xxxxxx Quote: > > Subject: Re: (KB 947449) installed 3 days in a row? 4/7/2009 8:49 AM PST > > By: PA Bear [MS MVP] In: microsoft.public.windowsupdate, > microsoft.public.windows.server.update_services > > > According to WLMessenger MVP Jonathan Kay, the following Command removes > WLSign-in Assistant: > > msiexec /x {45338B07-A236-4270-9A77-EBB4115517B5} > -- > ~PA Bear > > > Power Point wrote: Quote: >> Larry i tried your tip!!!
