Uninstall Instructions for Windows Vista
Windows Vista SP1 does not support build-to-build upgrades. Therefore, if you have installed a previously release build on your machine, you have to uninstall this old build before installing the next build of Windows Vista SP1.

Prerequisite packages (KB935509, KB937287 and KB938371) for Windows Vista SP1 are permanent and uninstall of these packages is disabled by design. During the installation of Windows Vista SP1, the installer detects the version of the prerequisite package on your machine and updates the package if required.


Here are the steps on how to uninstall Windows Vista SP1 from your machine:

1. Click on the Start Menu and go to Control Panel
2. Double click on Programs and Features
3. On the left side menu, select View Installed Updates
4. Under the list of Microsoft Windows, select Service Pack for Windows (KB936330)
5. On the top menu, click on Uninstall
