remove them all, proceed through each component's uninstaller. Note: Uninstalling Corticon Studio or
runtime components removes a complete major.minor version of those products, including

Uninstalling Corticon Studio
To remove a version of Corticon Studio, do the following:
- Close Corticon Studio.
- Choose the Start menu Control Panel function Programs and Features, and then double-click on Progress Corticon Studio x.x to launch its uninstaller.
The installed files in the Studio's [CORTICON_HOME] are removed. Files you created (including the complete
workspace) are NOT removed or replaced during this process.
If the Uninstaller program is unable to fully remove components (usually because they are open), it will display messages, and might require a reboot to complete the process.
Uninstalling runtime components
The runtime components -- Corticon Server for Java, Corticon Server for .NET, Corticon Web Console, and Corticon Utilities use the common installation directory, yet you can choose to uninstall just selected components.
To uninstall deployment components on Windows:
- Stop the components on the machine.
- Backup any files you want to retain.
- Choose the Start menu Control Panel function Programs and Features, and
then double-click on the Progress Corticon 7.x component you want uninstall to launch
its uninstaller. Note: You could initiate the same task directly by navigating to the component's uninstall folder, and then run the uninstall executable.
To uninstall Corticon Server on Linux:

[CORTICON_HOME]\Uninstall Progress Corticon <component> 7.x, and then run the component's uninstallbin.
Note: Files you created are NOT
removed or replaced during this process. No server files in the
[CORTICON_WORK_DIR] are removed.
