RE: How to manually remove KB917422?

Try System restore? date before install of patches.

Ok last resort .. the two files replaced in the install were kernel32.dll &
mpr.dll

boot to safe mode

ren kernel32.dll in both the windir\system32 & windir\system32\dllcache
folders

then copy files from either the windir\$NtUninstallKB917422$ or
windir\$NtUninstallKB841533$
folders to the windir\system32 & dllcache folders

good luck

I don't understand the error so I can't fix it, unfortunately.

Do you know?

Thanks,

Like Van this update has messed up my Oxford English Dictionaryu and I want
to get rid of it.

Doubly unfortunately, because of a bug in System Restore with large USB
memory sticks I have no System Restore History... and owing to a previously
corrupted MS update 917422 is not available in the Add/Remove programs list,
even though the windows update site says it was correctly installed.

Can anyone advise how to manually uninstall it and reinstate files etc. (I
believe kernel32.dll and mpr.dll were updated... current versions are
5.1.2600 .2945 & .2180 respectively, which appear to be the versions
installed by 917422)

Thanks in anticipation,

Julian
