Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

Uninstalling OpenEdge in Windows

When you delete files from the OpenEdge directory tree, you only partially remove an OpenEdge installation. By contrast, the Uninstall utility or the Remove Program utility removes all OpenEdge files as well as configuration information from the registry, which prevents conflict with subsequent OpenEdge installations. If for some reason the Uninstall utility cannot completely uninstall OpenEdge, you must manually remove the installation.

If you want to upgrade or remove an installation, choose one of the following:

Run the Uninstall utility from the OpenEdge program group, as described in the "Using the Uninstall or Add/Remove Programs utility" section.
Run the Add/Remove Programs utility from the Microsoft Windows Control Panel, as described in the "Using the Uninstall or Add/Remove Programs utility" section.
Manually remove the installation, as described in the "Manually removing OpenEdge" section. For additional details, see the Progress Software Company Knowledge Center at http://www.progress.com/support/resources/knowledge_center/index.ssp.
Note: You can uninstall OpenEdge from a MetaFrame platform in the same way as from Windows operating systems. MetaFrame operates in a client/server environment and is not the same as a shared network environment. Therefore, you cannot share an OpenEdge installation on a network that operates on MetaFrame.
