Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

Manually removing OpenEdge

If you attempted to perform the uninstall procedure outlined in the "Using the Uninstall or Add/Remove Programs utility" section and it failed, you must manually remove the OpenEdge Uninstall folder before reinstalling. The uninstall file records the initial installation and appends additional installations to the file.

Note: You can locate the ProgressUninstall file in the Windows directory folder; for example, in a Windows machine the file ProgressUninstall10.1A is located in drive:\<Windowsinstalldir> (where drive represents the drive on which you installed OpenEdge, and Windows installdir represents the name of the Windows installation directory as determined by the name and version number of your Windows operation system.).

This section provides guidelines to manually uninstalling the OpenEdge folder located at C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{B2E23C1B-E238-4053-B384-BACBFF4138F1} and perform other steps related to this task.

To manually uninstall OpenEdge:
  1. Log in under the same domain and user name you used when you installed OpenEdge.

  2. Make sure that OpenEdge is not running in an open DOS window (or that the current directory is not any OpenEdge-related directory).

  3. Stop all OpenEdge processes and close all OpenEdge help files. You can use the Task Manager to ensure that you stop all processes and close all help files.

  4. Using the Progress Explorer, shut down all OpenEdge services (brokers, NameServers, and databases).

  5. Shut down the AdminServer by following these steps:

    1. From the desktop, select Start Settings Control Panel Administrative Tools Services.
    2. Highlight the AdminService for OpenEdge 10.1A, and select Stop.
    3. When the service stops, choose Action Properties. The AdminService dialog box appears.
    4. Change the Startup type from Automatic to Manual, and choose OK. (This step is necessary if you reboot your machine before completing the uninstall so that the AdminServer does not start up automatically.)
      5. Note: If these same services will be required for a new installation, be sure to note any configuration settings, agent parameters, and so forth.

  6. You might need to shut down some services. Consider the following situations:

    • If you are using a Sun Web server (or NSAPI-compatible Web server) that uses the wsnsa.dll, you are not required to shut down a Windows service. You only have to shut down the Web server and the WebSpeed Transaction Server.
    • If you are using the Microsoft IIS Web server (or NSAPI compatible Web server) to employe the WebSpeed Messenger that uses the wsisa.dll, you must shut down the IIS Admin Service.
  7. Remove the C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{B2E23C1B-E238-4053-B384-BACBFF4138F1} directory.

  8. Run regedit.exe (or regedt32.exe) to edit the Windows registry as follows:

    1. Remove the 10.1A keys that appear under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER location. If there is only one release number identified under PSC, delete the PSC key, as shown:

      2. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\PSC\Progress\release number

    2. Remove the 10.1A keys that appear under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE location. Check the release number identified under each product subfolder. If only one release number is identified as installed for all products, delete the PSC key, as shown:

      3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PSC\product name(s)\release number(s)

    3. Remove the 10.1A key that appears under the following HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE location:

      4. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Uninstall

  9. If you have installed an OpenEdge product for which any drivers have also been installed, run regedit.exe (or regedt32.exe) to edit the Windows registry as follows:

    1. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI.
    2. Remove the following key(s) (and the values it contains), as needed:

      3. DataDirect 4.20 32-BIT OpenEdge SQL v10.1A1B 
OpenEdge 10.1A1B Informix Driver 
OpenEdge 10.1A1B Informix Wire Protocol Driver 
OpenEdge 10.1A1B SQL Server Wire Protocol Driver 
OpenEdge 10.1A1B Sybase Wire Protocol Driver

  10. Depending on the products you have installed, the following files might have been registered during the install and should be unregistered:

    11. dzocx32.ocx 

    pstimer.ocx 

    dzstat32.ocx 

    prox.dll 

    duzocx32.ocx 

    sstree.ocx 

    cscomb32.ocx 

    cihttp.ocx 

    csspin32.ocx 

    cslist32.ocx

    Note: The registered version of some of these files might not be under the OpenEdge install directory. You should also check the Windows system and system32 directories for these files.

    The following example shows how you can unregister one of these OCX files, which, in the example, is located in the Windows system32 directory:

      • %DLC%\bin\regsvr32.exe /u c:\windows\system32\cscomb32.ocx

    Note: If the OpenEdge Uninstall utility does not complete successfully, you must perform all or some of Step 11 through Step 15 before the new installation can take place. For details, see the Progress Software Company Knowledge Center at http://www.progress.com/support/resources/knowledge_center/index.ssp

  11. Delete the OpenEdge program directory, including all of its subdirectories. The default OpenEdge directory is C:\Progress\OPENEDGE.

  12. Delete the OpenEdge folder/group from the Windows Start menu.

  13. Shut down your Web server and delete the cgiip.exe and wsisa.dll files from the Web server cgi-bin/scripts directory.

    14. Note: If you are uninstalling WebSpeed and using the Sun Web server that uses the wsnsa.dll, you must return the obj.conf file to its pre-WebSpeed state. If you are upgrading WebSpeed to the same directory, you need not modify the obj.conf file. However, if you intend to change the directory location, then you must modify the obj.conf file to reflect the correct location.

  14. Depending on the installation options you chose, such as a Web server type, WebSpeed virtual directory, or having static HTML files copied to your Web server document root directory, you might need to take one or more of the following steps:

    1. Delete the WebSpeed directory from your Web server document root directory; for example, on MSIIS the default is: \InetPub\wwroot\webspeed.
    2. Delete any virtual directories defined for WebSpeed in your Web server.
  15. Reboot your machine and install OpenEdge.
