2.6 Uninstalling Vivinet Diagnostics

When you attempt to install a later version of Vivinet Diagnostics over an earlier installed version, the setup wizard automatically uninstalls the earlier version after a prompt. If you attempt to reinstall the same version of Vivinet Diagnostics over an existing copy, the setup wizard helps you perform a repair installation or uninstall the other copy of Vivinet Diagnostics.

When you uninstall Vivinet Diagnostics, files you created, such as saved Diagnosis files, are not removed. The folders containing these files are also preserved. Registry entries, however, are not removed automatically. You must remove registry entries manually.

NOTE:Before you uninstall the application, deregister the Vivinet Diagnostics license. Otherwise, you cannot register the program on another computer. For more information, see Section 2.5.6, Deregistering Vivinet Diagnostics.
