To uninstall the product after using the launchpad or Installation Manager, you
must uninstall each product separately and in a specific order.
Before you begin
Before uninstalling the product, make sure that you have
stopped all the applications that run with the product including the
server, any instance of Rule
Designer or Event Designer,
and the local help process if enabled.
To uninstall the packages,
you must log in to the system using the same user account that you
used to install the product packages. Make sure that you are using
the correct instance of Installation Manager to uninstall
the product:
- If you installed the products as an administrator, you must uninstall
using the administrator instance of Installation Manager, which
is accessible through the IBM Installation Manager start
menu shortcut.
- If you installed the products as a non-administrator user, you
must uninstall using the non-administrator instance of Installation Manager, which
is accessible through the My IBM Installation Manager start
menu shortcut.
A package cannot be uninstalled when another package has a
dependency on it, unless the dependent package is also selected to
be uninstalled.
