  2. Uninstalling the Platform Pack

Uninstalling the Platform Pack

You should always use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne OUI-based installation program to remove JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. If you manually remove the software, the uninstallation cannot be guaranteed to be complete and, as a result, subsequent reinstallation of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne may be hindered.

To run the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer for the IBM i Enterprise Server:

  1. Log on to the same Microsoft Windows machine where you initially ran the Platform Pack installer for IBM i. If you followed the recommendation, this will be the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Server.

  2. Locate the directory where you extracted the install images. If you followed the recommendation, the directory is:

    c:\IBMPPack

  3. In the extracted structure, locate the setup.exe file under the \install subdirectory, right-click on it, and select Run as Administrator.

  5. Turn on the check box next to the Oracle Home for the Platform Pack and expand the node to show all installed components. For example, the Oracle Home might be named JDE_PPack920_HOME1.

    Note: At this step, you should select only the Oracle Home that is associated with this particular OUI. That is, the Oracle Home name that you select on this screen should match the Oracle Home name that you selected from Start > Programs.

  6. Click the Remove… button.
