Resolves an issue that occurs when you use the SQL Server 2012 installation media to upgrade, to repair, or to uninstall features

Fixes an issue in which you can't uninstall service packs for SQL Server 2014 after a cumulative update is installed.

For example, if an old installer fails, look for a newer version of that product. Many Microsoft server products that once used PowerShell 2.0 (Exchange, SharePoint, SQL, and so forth) have newer versions that use modern PowerShell. Use those updated versions if you plan to run them on new versions of Windows.

Prevent existing programs from being completely uninstalled or updated. Block you from uninstalling a program through Add or Remove Programs (or Programs and Features) in Control Panel. If you're trying to remove malware, you can use Windows Security (or another antivirus tool), or you can use the Windows Malicious Software Removal tool.

To remove the LCU after installing the combined SSU and LCU package, use the DISM/Remove-Package command line option with the LCU package name as the argument. You can find the package name by using this command: DISM /online /get-packages.
