CTX108735 - Installation of the Latest Hotfix Rollup Pack Hides Replaced Hotfix
and Hotfix Rollup Pack Entries in Add/Remove Programs
This document was published at: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX108735
Document ID: CTX108735, Created on: Jan 26, 2006, Updated: Jan 27, 2006
Products: Citrix MetaFrame XP 1.0 for Microsoft Windows 2000, Citrix MetaFrame
XP 1.0 for Microsoft Windows 2003, Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 for Microsoft
Windows 2000, Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 for Microsoft Windows 2003
Description
Installation of the latest hotfix rollup pack (HRP) hides the listing of
replaced hotfixes and HRPs in Add/Remove Programs. Although the listings are
hidden, the file system remains unchanged, i.e., the replaced hotfixes and HRPs
are still present on the system. Once the latest HRP has been uninstalled, the
replaced hotfixes and HRPs reappear in Add/Remove Programs.
Currently this enhancement has been implemented in HRP 2 for Citrix MetaFrame
XP 1.0 Feature Release 3 Service Pack 4. It will also be implemented in HRP 2
for Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 in the near future.

Note: In Windows Server 2003, when the Show updates check box is selected
in Add/Remove Programs, all hotfixes and HRPs are visible to the user. See
Image 3 for details.
