Uninstalling the WebSphere Customization Toolbox using response files
You can uninstall the WebSphere Customization Toolbox using Installation Manager response files.
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:
Optional: Perform or
record the installation of Installation Manager and installation of
the WebSphere Customization Toolbox to a temporary installation registry
on one of your systems so that you can use this temporary registry
to record the uninstallation without using the standard registry where
Installation Manager is installed.
