Uninstall KB976569 via CLI or script

I would like to know what is the correct string to successfully uninstall KB976569. It is a patch to .Net Framework 2 SP2. We have to uninstall it from 100+ XP PCs because KB974417 needs to be installed prior to this one, otherwise it fails.

The link http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2009/04/16/9553804.aspx shows how to completely uninstall SP2, but not a patch to it.

I attempted this command, based on registry information but did not work.


msiexec /x {C09FB3CD-3D0C-3F2D-899A-6A1D67F2073F}.KB974417 REBOOT=ReallySuppress /l*v %temp%\netfx20sp2kb974417_uninstall_log.txt /qn

Assuming that the $NtUninstallKB976569$ folder exists, you should be able to run a batch command on the spuninstall.txt file:

batch c:\windows\$NtUninstallKB976569$\spuninst\spuninst.txt

This could be executed via a script at logon.

That folder does not exist. I already researched the "normal" method of unistalling KBs, this particular one is not common.

"c:\windows\$NtUninstallKB976569$\spuninst\spuninst.exe" /quiet /norestart

Batch should only work ion the Recovery console....
What was the output of the command above that you tried?
The folder is not present folks! It's just not there. I see a lot of hotfixes, but not this one! Here are the screen shots
