Default Windows XP SP2 Problem with Add/Remove Programs


Just installed Service pack 2 on a machine

Now have problems with some apps so need to go back.

When I run Add/Remove programs, the list is incomplete
only shows two apps and no Microsoft updates including
sp2.

At least 50 apps installed on the machine

Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi

The following command will also start the uninstall program if it
is available:

%windir%\$NtServicePackUninstall$\spuninst\spuninst.exe

(run it e.g. from Start/Run)
