Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

Using the Uninstall or Add/Remove Programs utility

You can run the Uninstall utility (or use the Add/Remove Programs utility located in the Windows Control Panel) to automatically remove OpenEdge from your system. Running the Uninstall or the Remove Program utility removes configuration information from the registry and prevents conflict with subsequent OpenEdge installations.

Caution: When uninstalling, do not delete any of the following Microsoft system files: asycfilt.dll, comctl32.ocx, ctl3d32.dll, mfc70.dll, mfc71.dll, mfcans32.dll, mscomctl.ocx, msvci70.dll, msvcp71.dll, msvcr.70.dll, msvcr71.dll, oc30.dll, oleaut32.dll,olepro32.dll, pdh.dll, psapi.dll, stdole2.tlb. These system files are common to other applications, and deleting them might adversely affect the operation of the other applications that use them. To avoid deleting these system files while running the Uninstall utility, answer No to the prompts at the end of the uninstall process.

To run the Uninstall utility:

Log in under the same domain and user name you used when you installed OpenEdge.
Make sure that OpenEdge is not running in an open DOS window (or that the current directory is not any OpenEdge-related directory).
Stop all OpenEdge processes, including your Web server (for example, you might be using a Microsoft Web server or ISAPI-compatible, or Sun Web server or NSAPI-compatible Web server), and close all OpenEdge help files.Use the Task Manager to ensure that you stop all processes and close all help files.
Using the Progress Explorer, shut down all OpenEdge and WebSpeed services (brokers, NameServers, and database servers).
Make sure that your Web server, as identified in Step 3 of this procedure, is shut down.
From the Windows desktop, select Start Settings Control Panel Administrative Tools Services.

Highlight the OpenEdge AdminService, and choose Stop. Change the startup from Automatic to Manual, and choose OK.

Note: If these same services will be required for a new installation, be sure to note any configuration settings, agent parameters, etc.
Do one of the following tasks to uninstall:
Choose the Uninstall icon in the OpenEdge Program Group.
From the desktop, select Start Settings Control Panel Add/Remove Programs. From the Install/Uninstall tab, select OpenEdge and choose Add/Remove.

The InstallShield Wizard appears:



Choose Yes.
Choose OK when the deletion process is complete.
If the uninstall was successful, you have finished.
If the uninstall failed or terminated abnormally during the process, you must manually remove the OpenEdge Uninstall folder. Refer to the "Manually removing OpenEdge" section for the procedure to complete.
