Hi. I had to perform a system restore after uninstalling the Hotfix. It's back on the Add or Remove programs list but I can't remove it as the unins000.dat doesn't exist. How can I manually remove it?

I have a similar question... On Win2000 the uninstall is not present on the Add/Remove programs list. Does anyone have the necessary info to remove the fix?

Thanks.

OK, after re-reading the FAQ I finally found the file to run...

c:\Program Files\WindowMetafile\unins000.exe

I found unins000.exe in my Program Files folder but it can't work without unins000.dat.

I'm having the same problem and unins000.dat does not exist in the registry. I try to reinstall the hotfix to then use the uninstaller but it says it's already installed. The uninstaller won't run because it doesn't have the dat file.
