SQL Server Forum / DB Engine / SQL Server / January 2008Problem Applying Patches Due To Missing Patch Uninstall Files
Has anyone run into problems applying patches to SQL Server due to missing patch uninstall files? The patch uninstall files in C:\WINDOWS seem like they can be removed as long as you no longer want to uninstall the patches. After a discussion with Microsoft technical support, it appears that they are required. I raised an issue on Connect id 259436 about uninstalling SQL2005 service packs. MS says not yet. I have been able to uninstall hotfix builds on a client but I doubt you could uninstall hotfixes on the actual server. So it seems you cannot uninstall hotfixes or actually install them either if the uninstall files get destroyed.
