    Hey,
    I keep getting the notice that I need to install this update? I've deleted the reg entry, manually saved the update file and installed it off my hard drive, but it keeps coming back? Any Idea's?

    Thanks Again

    Try removing the update through Add/Remove programs and reinstall via Windows Updates. The install is not being registered.

    Although this update is listed in Add/Remove Programs there is no button or option to remove it just the listing that it was installed?

    Thanks
    Again

    That suggests a dodgy and incomplete install - I have a Remove button. In fact any update listed in Add/Remove can be uninstalled.

    Try this approach ....

    In Windows Explorer - Tools > Folder Options > View - set to show Hidden files and Protected operating system files.

    Open the Windows folder, locate the $NtUninstallKB835732$ folder, open it and subfolder spuninst and run spuninst.exe

    Might be a silly question but did you click on the entry for the problem hotfix in Add/Remove Programs? The "Remove" button doesn't show until you click on it to select it.
