I downloaded the updates for Office 2007 and Vista by mistake (neither of which I own). Is it possible to delete just those updates?

Thanks.

yes, but it's a pain. the most direct way to do that is take those md5 files that are in autopatcher root and move the files related to version that you wish to keep to another place (or the ones that you don't wanna anymore. choose the option that looks more easy). of course, it's possible do something like this:
Del autopatcher:\modules\office_2007.apm
Rmdir /S /Q autopatcher:\modules\Office2007\KB976416_glb.apm_files

that i did just by taking the script and running an automation tool that i did a few minutes ago. this can be done for all our scripts in minutes, but as there's some versions of vista and also some versions of office 2007, can you provide the exact name of the rti files that you have at autopatcher folder, to allow track the scripts that you don't wish anymore and do an script to automate the removal task?

Thanks. Files are as follows. I don't see anything for Vista since I'm guessing Vista is not my operating system.

adobe_reader_EN-US.rti
apengine.rti
directx.rti
dotnet.rti
extras.rti
java_jre.rti
office2003_enu.rti
office_2007_glb.rti
office_xp_enu.rti
officesp2007.rti
xp_sp3_enu.rti

ok. just paste the content related to the version that you wish remove from autopatcher folder in notepad and then edit, replace all,"autopatcher:\" by the full patch where you have apup, like c:\apup. then, save the file with any name that you wish, plus .cmd or .bat extension (show full names is required) and then double-click it, that you will remove all the files related to that script.

warning: there's no turning back, unless you re-download everything

in your first post, i've saw an reference for an removal for vista related updates. as i didn't saw any rti file related to vista, i didn't an removal for vista updates, because there's one vista sp1 and an sp2 version

important: some files are shared between scripts. so, you may require run apup again after this and select the updates that you shall keep in order to have all files

the removal procedure above was done by taking the entire script and pasting it into msword. then, this:

did the first part of the job and this:

did the 2nd part. of course, some manual editing was required. by the way: this code worked with msword 2000, that is the version that i have at my job. i don't know if this will work with more up-to-dated versions

if you wish more removals, just state the exact script version

Thank you very much.

Concerning Vista, I just double checked my settings and see I did not check them. I thought I did. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Again, thanks for your help.
