Cannot uninstall a windows update on server 2003
We are attempting to migrate a 2003 Server from a physical server to a Hyper V virtual server. When done we will start migrating the services from the 2003 VM to a 2012 VM, but we would like to be able to this in portions. KB3045999 is keeping the 2003 server from functioning as a VM.
The update was initially in the add/remove programs list, but when we selected remove Windows said the update was not installed do you want to remove it from the list. We said yes. The update is still installed. We tried to reinstall the update and it says it successfully installed, but after a reboot it still is not in the add/remove programs list.
It appears that the uninstall updates folders have been deleted from this server.
Is there a way to

The dll and other files for KB3045999 were deleted. From another 2003 Server we copied the files to the problem server and the issue was resolved. This is not a great fix, but we just needed something to temporarily get the 2003 server back up and running so we could migrate it to the virtual environment and start moving it’s services to a 2012 server.
