Thanks, Carl. This also already checked but didn't find any string value ends 
with -1 in DisplayIcon key.

Seems to be something wrong with Rundll32.exe
Ideally whenever we run appwiz.cpl, rundll32.exe should auto run & once closed 
appwiz, rundll32.exe should auto close. Now here rundll32.exe is taking long 
time to auto close even after closed appwiz

A bad entry in the uninstall registry can cause something like this.  The most 
typical example of this in the past was Autocad which created a bad entry for 
DisplayIcon.  So if nothing else, you might scan through the uninstall registry 
keys looking for a DisplayIcon value that ends with ",-1".

Subject: Add/Remove programs showing blank on Windows 2003 SP2 Server

Hello Everybody,

I am unable to see programs list under Add/Remove programs in one of our 
Windows 2003 SP2 server. I have tried to run regsvr32 appwiz.cpl also, not no 
difference. There was a Fixit for this on MS Site, tried that also but still no 
solution. Tried to run sfc /scannow / checkdisk also but no solution. It's only 
showing "please wait while the list is being populated....". tried to restart 
this server as well, but no luck.

Kindly let me know what could be the problem & how to resolve it.


Regards,

Dhiraj
