    This works! You have the only solution I can find for Server 2012! Others are missing the “Rundll32 iesetup.dll” steps.
    FYI – you appear to be removing the slashes. i.e. “HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\” has become “HKLM:SOFTWAREMicrosoftActive SetupInstalled Components”

    Is there a way to execute this script successfully without admin privileges?

    Worked like a charm. It’s the rundll32 bit that does the trick i guess…..
