3.3 Uninstalling Portability Suite Software Components and Performing a Cleanup

The procedure below outlines the required steps for uninstalling the software components of PlateSpin® Portability Suite and performing an optional manual cleanup. This might be necessary when upgrading or recovering from problems with a previous installation.

NOTE:This procedure does not remove license information from the server.

  1. Use the Windows Control Panel to uninstall the Portability Suite Client.

  2. Use the Windows Control Panel to uninstall the Portability Suite Server.

  3. (Optional) If you opted to install the local database server from within the Portability Suite installation program and if you no longer need it, use the Windows Control Panel to uninstall Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.

  4. Make sure that there are no Operations Framework Controller references in the Windows Registry:

    1. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services and delete the OfxController key if it still exists.

    2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PlateSpin\ and delete the OperationsFramework key.

  5. Ensure that the program directories of Portability Suite components were removed:

    1. Make sure the Portability Suite Server home directory was removed:

      ..\PlateSpin Portability Suite Server

    2. Make sure the Portability Suite Client home directory was removed:

      ..\PlateSpin Portability Suite Client

    3. (Optional) If you installed a local Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition database server and if you chose to uninstall it, remove the directory:

      ..\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server

      WARNING:Do not delete the SQL directory if you have another SQL server installed on the Portability Suite server host.

  6. Open IIS Manager and ensure that the ofxweb and PortabilitySuite virtual directories are deleted.

  7. Reboot the machine.
