Repairing and Uninstalling

While the Deployment Package is installed via Windows Installer, it cannot be normally Repaired or Removed due to dependency complexities – especially when subsequent report deployments are made. It is highly recommended that you use the Admin Tool to uninstall systems where possible. Where this is not possible, use the Windows Installer Cleanup utilities from the Microsoft Installer SDK to remove the systems. Note that you need to manually delete the COM+ component as it can be left behind if locked by residual database operations (such as updating system status) during the uninstallation. Refer to Removing an Invalid System for more information.

Note: If your application is uninstalled, it must first be stopped and disabled.

To create specific uninstallation instructions, use Builder's configuration properties. For example, leave user-maintained tables untouched during uninstallation.
