Uninstalling the WebSphere Customization Toolbox using the GUI

Use the Installation Manager GUI to uninstall the WebSphere Customization Toolbox.

Before you begin

Important: When you uninstall the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool, the process does not unconfigure existing web server plug-ins configurations. You might want to use the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool to delete any plug-in configurations that you created using the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool before you remove the WebSphere Customization Toolbox.
If you do not unconfigure existing web server plug-ins that were configured using the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool before uninstalling the WebSphere Customization Toolbox, the configuration information remains. If the WebSphere Customization Toolbox is reinstalled, the configuration information that displays in the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool might be obsolete and greyed out, preventing you from interacting properly with the Web Server Plug-ins Configuration Tool. To resolve this problem, manually remove the workspace used by the previous WebSphere Customization Toolbox installation. The workspace is in the following location:
  • user_home/AppData/Local/IBM/WebSphere/workspaces/WCT8
  • user_home/.ibm/WebSphere/workspaces/WCT8

Procedure

  1. Start Installation Manager.
  2. Click Uninstall.
  3. In the Uninstall Packages window, perform the following actions.
    1. Select WebSphere Customization Toolbox and the appropriate version.
    2. Click Next.
  4. Review the summary information.
  5. Click Uninstall.
    • If the uninstallation is successful, the program displays a message that indicates success.
    • If the uninstallation is not successful, click View log to troubleshoot the problem.
  6. Click Finish.
  7. Click File > Exit to close Installation Manager.
