You can remove a Horizon Agent hotpatch from a Windows machine where Horizon Agent is already installed without needing to uninstall and reinstall Horizon Agent. You can also uninstall a patch silently by running a PowerShell script.
Prerequisites
- In Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features, verify Horizon Agent is already installed and note the build number.
- In Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Installed Updates, verify the Horizon Agent Update Patch is the same build number as the Horizon Agent build.
Procedure
-
To uninstall the patch, go to Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall or change a Program, select the patch and click Uninstall.
Uninstalling a patch will revert to the previous build.
-
Restart the system for the changes to take effect.
What to do next
After uninstalling the patch, check the Horizon HKLM\SOFTWARE registry entries for AgentVersions!view-agent and BuildNumber and verify that no reference of the patch exists or in Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.
