Release 10.1C: OpenEdge Replication:
Installation Guide


Uninstalling OpenEdge Replication

When you manually delete files from the OpenEdge Replication directory tree, you only partially remove an OpenEdge Replication installation. By contrast, the Uninstall utility removes all OpenEdge Replication files as well as configuration information from the registry, which prevents conflict with subsequent OpenEdge Replication installations. If you want to upgrade or remove an installation, run the Uninstall utility from the OpenEdge program group.

Note that you cannot uninstall only OpenEdge Replication. If you want to remove OpenEdge Replication, you must uninstall the entire OpenEdge product.

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 or OpenEdge Replication installations.

Caution: When uninstalling, do not delete any of the following Microsoft system files: mfc40.dll, mfc42.dll, mfcans32.dll, msvcrt.dll, msvcrt20.dll, msvcrt40.dll, olepro32.dll. 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:

  1. Log in under the same domain and user name you used when you installed OpenEdge Replication.
  2. Make sure that OpenEdge Replication is not running.
  3. Make sure the Admin Service is not running.
  4. Choose Start Programs OpenEdge Uninstall OpenEdge. A confirmation message appears.
  5. Click Yes. The utility begins to uninstall the OpenEdge files.
  6. Click OK when the uninstall is complete.
