Uninstalling Ensemble

#Debugging #Management Portal #Microsoft Windows #System Administration #Ensemble

On a developer's laptop, having had two or three Ensemble installs with different settings/config changes made, and encountering unexplained errors compiling classes, wanting to scrub as much of the previous installs off the machine before doing any fresh installation... But can't find clear documentation on doing a complete uninstall!

Have stopped the server.

Am I safe to remove C:\InterSystems\Ensemble (for the instance installed into that folder)?

What other files/Registry/locations contain references to an Ensemble install, and are there tools or documentation on clearing those out?

Or tell me why the above is unnecessary!

(Be interested to know what the story is for Iris too - we will be upgrading at some point in the nearish future.)

Thanks.

Product version: Ensemble 2018.1
$ZV: Cache for Windows (x86-64) 2018.1 (Build 184U)

Thanks Cristiano. I'd found the page you linked to before, but its not very explicit about uninstallation!

Would I be correct in interpreting it as:

  • only uninstall option is the unattended section at https://docs.intersystems.com/ens201817/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?...
  • would I be correct to interpret 'CacheC' in the example command as the instance name of the Ensemble installation to be uninstalled? Or is that the folder name on the filesystem where it is in installed?
  • Not familiar with Windows Registry editing, so can I safely delete those two trees in the registry if i want a completely fresh start?

Thanks!

You can use add or remove programs too.

  • would I be correct to interpret 'CacheC' in the example command as the instance name of the Ensemble installation to be uninstalled? Or is that the folder name on the filesystem where it is in installed?

Is the instance name.

  • Not familiar with Windows Registry editing, so can I safely delete those two trees in the registry if i want a completely fresh start?

After uninstall and if you have only one installation yes.
