How to uninstall Corticon components

Uninstalling Corticon Studio

Uninstalling Corticon Studio or Corticon Server results in removing a complete major.minor version of those products, including any service packs or hotfixes applied. It is not possible then to uninstall just a service pack or hotfix.

To remove a version of Corticon Studio, do the following:

1. Close Corticon Studio.
2. Choose the Start menu Control Panel function Programs and Features, and then double-click on Progress Corticon Studio 6.3 to launch its uninstaller.
   Note: You could initiate the same task directly by navigating to [CORTICON_HOME]\Uninstall_Progress Corticon Studio 6.3, and then running Uninstall Progress Corticon Studio 6.3.exe.

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 Corticon Server

The Corticon Server components -- Corticon Server for Java, Corticon Server for .NET, and the Corticon Web Console -- use common installation directories. As such, you cannot choose to uninstall just selected components. Uninstallation will remove all installed server components.

To uninstall Corticon Server on Windows:

1. Stop Corticon Server.
2. Backup any files you want to retain.
3. Choose the Start menu Control Panel function Programs and Features, and then double-click on Progress Corticon Server 6.3.x to launch its uninstaller.
   Note: You could initiate the same task directly by navigating to [CORTICON_HOME]\Uninstall_Progress Corticon Studio 6.3, and then running Uninstall Progress Corticon Server 6.3.exe.

The installed files in the Server's [CORTICON_HOME] are removed. Note that files you created are NOT removed or replaced during this process. No server files in the [CORTICON_WORK_DIR] are removed.
