Removing a product

Stopping the setup maintenance program

Unlike the setup program, the setup maintenance program has no Back or Cancel button. Once you click Yes in the procedure below, the program cannot be stopped.

To use the setup maintenance program to remove a product:

1Make a backup copy of any files you might want to reuse (such as DB, INI, and PBL files) if you plan to reinstall.

2Open the Control Panel from the Start menu and double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.

3On the Install/Uninstall tab page, select the product to remove, click Add/Remove, and click Yes when prompted to confirm that you want to remove the tool.

4If you are prompted to remove a shared file, click the appropriate response.

If the usage count for a system file in the registry indicates that the file is no longer being used, the setup maintenance program asks if you want to delete the file. Some applications do not increment the usage count; therefore, do not delete a file unless you are sure it is not being used by another application.
