Uninstalling Java Studio Enterprise (Microsoft Windows Systems) |
An uninstaller is provided to remove the Java Studio Enterprise software. You must have administrative privileges to uninstall this software.
Use the uninstaller to selectively uninstall specific Java Studio Enterprise component products or to uninstall all of the software. You can start the uninstaller from the Start Menu or by using the Microsoft Windows Add/Remove Programs utility. Follow this procedure to use the Start Menu:
1. Exit and shut down the IDE before starting the uninstaller.
2. Choose Start > Programs > Sun Microsystems > Java Studio Enterprise 2004Q1 > Uninstall Java Studio Enterprise.
The uninstaller starts and the Welcome page is displayed.
The Product Selection page is displayed.
4. Select the products you wish to uninstall.
Pay close attention to any warning messages seen. The uninstaller does not prevent you from uninstalling component products that may be used by other Java Studio Enterprise component products still on your system.
5. Click Next to start the uninstallation process.
Uninstallation may take a few minutes.
6. When the uninstallation is complete, click Close.
7. Check the java-studio-install-dir.
A successful uninstallation of all of the Java Studio Enterprise software leaves the following files and folders:
If your java-studio-install-dir directory contains other files, you might have installed add-on products or the uninstallation might be incomplete. See Chapter 15 for more information. If you selected one or more individual component products to uninstall, then only the files related to that product are uninstalled. The remaining product directories and files are still on the machine.
8. Examine the uninstall log files for error messages.
The log files are found in the directory defined by the user %TEMP% variable, for example C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp. The log file names are of the following format:
9. If you did a complete uninstallation and verify that it was successful, you can delete the java-studio-install-dir and its contents.
Silent uninstallation is useful for automated uninstallation of Java Enterprise System components on multiple hosts that share similar configurations. Silent uninstallation requires that you run the uninstaller once to capture your input values in a state file. Using appropriate command line options, the product is not uninstalled during this dry run of the uninstaller. The state file contains your responses as a list of parameters, each representing a single prompt or field. You can then run the uninstaller on many hosts, using an edited version of this state file as input. It is necessary to edit the state file parameters that are machine or platform specific.
During silent uninstall, the uninstaller uses the state file to uninstall and unconfigure Java Studio Enterprise components.
The procedure for uninstalling in silent mode is similar to the procedure for installing in silent mode. For information on uninstalling in silent mode, see Chapter 7.
