After removing the Print Management Administration Pack using Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs on Window XP, you install the Print Management Administration Pack again.
You can no longer remove the Print Management Administration Pack using Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs.
To workaround this behavior, I have scripted RemovePMAP.bat to remove the Print Management Administration Pack.
To remove the Print Management Administration Pack, open a CMD.EXE window and type RemovePMAP.
RemovePMAP.bat contains:
@echo off
setlocal
cd /d %SystemRoot%\Pmcsnap
Regsvr32 /s /u pmcsnap.dll
Regsvr32 /s /u puiobj.dll
Regsvr32 /s /u puiapi.dll
del /q /f Pmcsnap.dll
del /q /f Ppcsnap.dll
del /q /f Puiapi.dll
del /q /f Puiobj.dll
del /q /f Pushprinterconnections.exe
del /q /f Printmanagement.msc
For /F "Tokens=2*" %%a in ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /V CSDVersion^|find "REG_SZ"') do (
set SPNumber=%%b
)
set SPNumber=%SPNumber:Service Pack =%
call :QDEL>NUL 2>&1
endlocal
goto :EOF
:QDEL
REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP%SPNumber%\Pmcmgmt" /F
REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP Version 2003\SP%SPNumber%\Pmcmgmt" /F
