Uninstall and re-install from the download site.

So is this type of command used when one wants to delete all of an
applications components, of except the ones that are dependancies for other
apps? Then you just reinstall the app from xp's disk? I disable sfp entirely
from my system I think it's one of xp's biggest annoyances.
