[Winapp2.ini additions]

It seems inconsistent that you give a link specific to Windows XP in support of an entry that warns :-

Warning=only Vista, Win 7, Win 2008

 

i have made a little changes in my post:

Delete Windows update files

 

Warning If you delete the folder for each update, the corresponding Windows update cannot be uninstalled. Consider the effect that this will have on the computer before you delete the Windows update files.

 

To delete Windows update files, follow these steps:

1. Delete only those %Windir%/$NtUninstallKB number$ folders that were created more than a month ago as backup files for Windows updates. Do not delete those that were created within the last 30 days.
   
2. To delete the download cache for Windows updates, delete all the folders in the %Windir%\SoftwareDistribution\download folder that were created more than 10 days ago.
   
3. Delete the following log files in the %Windir% folder:
   
   • kb*.log
     
   • setup*.log
     
   • setup*.old
     
   • setuplog.txt
     
   • winnt32.log
     
   • set*.tmp
