You can modify, repair or remove the Client Environment installation components by using the Windows Programs and Features application available from the Control Panel window.

To perform any of these functions, perform the following:
Point to and click the Start icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
Right-click a blank part of the Start screen and then select All apps. Select Control Panel from the Apps screen to display the Control Panel window.

Click Next to continue with the selected operation.
The available maintenance operations are shown below.
Change
Change allows you to add Client Environment components that were not installed during the original installation, or remove selected components via the Feature Selection Screen.
If you select the Change operation, when you click Next and no hotpatch exists, the Feature Selection dialog box is displayed. From the list of components select the ones that you wish to add, or deselect the ones that you wish to remove.
If a Hotpatch is already installed, then a message box is displayed to request that you manually uninstall the Hotpatch prior to continuing with the modification. Click Confirmation to terminate the maintenance. You must then uninstall the hotpatch before recommencing with the modification. After the modification is complete, you should re-install the Hotpatch.
