KB891861 is fully uninstallable. YMMV. 

but I have seen reports that some problems caused by KB891861 have
not disappeared even if you uninstall KB891861.

So I would have been very reluctant to install KB891861 on a server,
and if I did, I would have been sure to have a valid system state
backup of the OS that I could restore in worst case.
