64 Bit patches. Are these SQL?

I noticed that my 64 bit version of Win 2003 Server is creating a lot of
patch folders under C:\Windows. What are these all about and why do I not see
similar folder names on my 32 bit server?
I'm told these all are SQL patches. If so, can I safely delete them?
Examples:
03/22/2007 03:55 PM <DIR> DTS9_KB933508_ENU_64
04/08/2007 09:45 AM <DIR> DTS9_KB934458_ENU_64

Bob,
They are: - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933508/ and
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934458 both patches that MS offered under
Microsoft Update. Do you have Automatic Updating on?

|||Yes, WSUS pushes these out.
I presume these are the prior code that the patches replaced, just in case
the patch needs to be backed off. If so, why doesn't SQL store them like all
other MS products; under C:\Windows\$...
Anyway, can I delete these (as I assume they are pre-patch code for the
purpose of patch backoffs).

|||Dear Bob,
Thank you for posting here.
From the problem description of the post you submitted, my understanding
is: you have found several SQL related folders (E.X: DTS9_KB933508_ENU_64)
exist under the C:\Windows on a 64 bit version of Windows Server 2003 and
you would like to know whether they can be removed safely from the system.
If I have misunderstood about your concern, feel free to let me know.
For your information, these folders belong to the SQL Server 2005 and are
created during the installation of two SQL Server Updates (KB933508 and
KB934458). These folders are used to store the uninstall components as you
mentioned. For example, KB934458 will update the following five SQL Server
components and services. To store the uninstall information for each
component, the setup program will create five corresponding sub-folders
under C:\Windows directory and all the uninstall information for each
component will be extracted into these folders. Later, uninstall API will
use the files in each folder one by one to perform the update KB934458's
un-installation procedure if you try to uninstall them from the Add/Remove
program.
- SQL Server Database Services 2005
- SQL Server Analysis Services 2005
- SQL Server Notification services 2005
- SQL Server Integration Services 2005
- SQL Server Tools and Workstation Components 2005
That's to say, these folders are used to store the uninstall setup files
and they can be removed from the system safely if you do not uninstall this
update in future. If you have any further question about this, please feel
free to let me know.

|||Hi,
Can you answer this question for me please? I have been told that SQL2005
Service packs are not uninstallable but hotfixes after build 3050 are
supposed to be. I have a 32 bit server that we applied build 3050 then build
3152 then build 3159 by applying the hotixes. If I look in Add/Remove
programs I only see the latest hotfix build 3159. If I tried to uninstall
this hotfix what build might I be on?
Thanks

|||Hello,
Thank you for posting here.
The SQL Server update is normally released as the cumulative update. That's
to say, the later hotfix will normally include the pervious version of the
update and that's is the reason why we can only see the latest hotfix build
3159 in the Add/Remove program. If we choose to uninstall the update 3159
in the Add/remove program, the version of the SQL Server should normally be
rolled back to the previous hotfix version (Version 3152).
Have a nice day!

| | Yes, WSUS pushes these out.
| |
| | I presume these are the prior code that the patches replaced, just in
| case
| | the patch needs to be backed off. If so, why doesn't SQL store them
like
| all
| | other MS products; under C:\Windows\$...
| |
| | Anyway, can I delete these (as I assume they are pre-patch code for the
| | purpose of patch backoffs).

|||Hi Adams,
Sorry it took so long to post back, just a bit busy I guess.
Yes, your post (and extra info to Chris Wood) was very imformative and
helpful.
Because I'm not even using SQL server yet, I can't imagine I'll ever need to
back off the patches. Therefore, I'll delete the folders pronto!
Thanks much!
Bob
