Uninstalling in Silent Mode

In silent mode, you can uninstall the product from the command line.

Note:
  • TIBCO recommends that you use the same mode for uninstallation that you used for installing the plug-in. Using different methods for installation and uninstallation might cause some problems during uninstallation.
  • Before uninstalling the plug-in, stop all running processes in the installation environment.
Before you begin
  1. Go to the local directory where you extracted the installation package.
  2. Copy the TIBCOUniversalInstaller_bwplugin-cawscs_<version>.silent response file to the TIBCO_HOME/tools/universal_installer directory, rename the file to mysilent.silent, and remove the existing entries in the mysilent.silent file.
  3. Add the following parameters to the mysilent.silent file by using the <entry key="keyname">keyvalue</entry> syntax: 
    <entry key="uninstallProductID">bwpluginname</entry> 
<entry key="uninstallProductVersion">6.x.x</entry>
<entry key="uninstallTIBCOHome">c:/tibco</entry>
    Procedure
  1. Go to the TIBCO_HOME/tools/universal_installer directory.
  2. Run the following command: 
    <TIBCO Universal Installer executable file> -silent -V responseFile="<my_response_filename>"
    Note: If you copy the response file to another directory and not the local directory containing the installer, then provide the absolute path of the response file.
  3. You can also use the command-line options to override the value in the silent file. The following options are supported:
    • -V uninstallTIBCOHome="<TIBCO_HOME path>"
    • -V uninstallProductID="<productID>"
    • -V uninstallProductVersion="<product version>"
    • -V uninstallAllProducts="true"
    Command-Line Options Description
    uninstallTIBCOHomeThe path to TIBCO_HOME where you want to run the uninstaller. This value is validated before the uninstallation can proceed in silent mode.
    uninstallProductIDThe ID of the product that you want to uninstall as defined in the feature config or _installInfo xml file. A wildcard "*" can be used to uninstall all products. The uninstallAllProducts="true" option must be used to uninstall all products.
    uninstallProductVersionThe version of the product that you specified with the uninstallProductID value. If not specified, all versions matching the uninstallProductID are removed.
    uninstallAllProductsThis option must be used in addition to setting uninstallProductID="*" in the silent file to uninstall all products.
