  • the "Add/Remove Program" section in Control Panel does not when I try to delete a program

    I use XP

    Since we don't know anything about your system, here are some general thoughts:

    Click Start, run, and in the box, enter these commands one at a time (or copy and paste the commands into the box run), and then click the OK button after each command:

    regsvr32 appwiz.cpl
    (DllRegisterServer in successful appwiz.cpl)

    regsvr32 mshtml.dll
    (depending on your configuration, you can get an error... proceed)

    regsvr32 "c:\program Files\Fichiers communs\System\Ole DB\Oledb32.dll.
    (including the quotation marks...  DllRegisterServer in successful ole32.dll)

    See how things look now.

  • KB2728973 does not appear in the list, add / remove programs

    Hi, I am using Windows XP Media Center Edition with service pack 3 is installed, and KB2728973 is displayed as being installed on the Microsoft update site, but KB2728973 does not appear in the list, add / remove programs. The rest of July for Windows XP updates appear as being installed on the two site update of Microsoft and adding list / remove programs, it seems strange that KB2728973 does not work. It is important that KB2728973 does not appear in the list of add / remove programs? or do I need to do more to install it? I also tried to manually install the KB2728973, but again, he did not appear in the list Add / Remove programs. I understand that there is a position similar to mine, but I read it, and I realized that the question of the poster was a bit different from mine. I also wanted to take the time to mention that the automatic updates of Windows listed KB2728973 as being installed successfully, but it always seems strange that KB2728973 does not appear in the list, add / remove programs. I also checked in C:\WINDOWS, and there wasn't any folder $NtUninstall to KB2728973. Oh, and Yes, I have "Show updates" checked in Add / Remove programs.   Contribution to this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    It is normal that some updates to not appear in the list of add / remove programs in the control panel for various reasons, but in this case, it will update the entries in the untrusted certificates store then to see if it is installed, you can check if the newly revoked certificates are listed.

    Here is a link to a page that explains the changes he brings (the certificates that have been revoked):

    [url] http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2728973 [url]

    Scroll down to the section that has the right:

    How can [B] after you apply the update, I check the certificates in the Microsoft Untrusted Certificates Store? [/ B]

    If you have no events in Event Viewer, you can open IE and click on Internet Options - Content tab - then in the Middle under "Certificates" click on "Certificates" and then click on the arrow to scroll to the right and click the "Untrusted publishers" tab.  You should see all those listed in the MS article here.

    It also creates this key in the registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software \Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Windows\ {C3C986D6-06B1-43BF-90DD-BE30756C00DE}

    where it lists what Windows Update of roots revoked.

  • deleted programs manually always appear in the list, add/remove programs

    I have a large number of programs I uninstalled, but they still appear in Add/Remove program with the button Delete. Using the button Delete has nothing else that wasting time by telling me that he was unable to find the components. I went to the registry editor and manually delete all programs. I then checked the list Add/Remove programs and programs have disappeared. Then, I closed the registry editor and check the Add/Remove Programs list. The programs appear once more, this time without a button Delete. When I go back to the registry editor, the programs have disappeared. How to make them out of the Add/Remove Programs list?

    That all sounds pretty messed - too bad you took this approach.

    It is also a pity that forums MS Answers does not ask for any information system when a new question is asked, so we don't know anything about your system.
