Uninstalling WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client for .NET

To remove WebSphere® eXtreme Scale Client for .NET from your environment, you can uninstall it from your Windows Control Panel, or record a response file in order to uninstall in silent mode. Recording a response file is best when you have multiple installations of WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client and you want to remove these installations quickly.

Before you begin

If you want to uninstall the product from a development environment, then make sure you shut down Visual Studio.
Attention: The uninstaller removes all binary files and all maintenance, such as fix packs and interim fixes, at the same time.

Procedure

  1. Stop any .NET eXtreme Scale processes.
  2. You can uninstall WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client for .NET using one of the following methods:
    • Uninstall from the Windows Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs and select IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client for .NET.
    • If you want to record a response file, then open a command prompt and run the following script:
      install.exe /uninst /r /f1"<Response_Files_Directory>\Setup.iss"
      1. The uninstallation wizard opens and a confirmation window appears to verify that you want to remove WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client for .NET and all its features. Click OK.
      2. When the uninstallation process completes, click Finish.
  3. Optional: If you want to use your response file to uninstall an existing installation of WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client, then run your recorded response file as follows:
    1. Open a command prompt, and run the following script to uninstall WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client for .NET in silent mode: 
      install.exe /uninst /s /f1"<Response_Files_Directory>\Setup.iss"

What to do next

Check your Windows Explorer to make sure all folders were removed from your installation directory. You should also check your Windows Control panel to make sure the product is no longer listed. The installer does not delete folders that contain files that were generated after the installation, such as log files, custom configuration files, and any artifacts created by building the SimpleClient sample.
