Where are the hotfix backup installed ?

Hello,

I'm looking to remove manually the latest hotfix installed, but I cannot find where they actually are installed

My problem is the following : I did reboot my system to install latest updates but since, my Aero interface is locked and the Control Panel is not reachable (it opens and close suddenly). I can reach the control panel elements by the file explorer, using the left side shortcuts. But in the add/remove panel, I cannot see the hotfixes, clicking on the link to display them doesn't work. I really think this problem comes from the hotfixes i've installed, so now I have to use the command line to delete them.

sorry for my bad english.

Hi FCTurtle,

The only way to remove updates is using the "Programs and Features" control panel, Once the updates are installed they are directly integrated into the system making them un-removable without killing Vista.

Open "Programs and Features" from the Control Panel and click "View Installed Updates" on the top left to remove them.
