Solution Details
Solution Steps:
After an Aveva hotfix is installed, it will show up in the Hotfix Viewer application so you can keep track of which ones are installed.
If you ever need to remove a hotfix, you have to manually remove it from an xml file so that it no longer displays in the viewer.
Locate the file below, make a backup copy and delete the hotfix entry text.
Once the hotfix text has been deleted, re-open Hotfix Viewer and it will not be removed.
