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
- Navigate to the local directory where you extracted the installation package.
- Copy the
TIBCOUniversalInstaller_bwpluginmdm_<version>.silent
response file to theTIBCO_HOME/tools/universal_installer
directory, rename the file tomysilent.silent
, and remove the existing entries in themysilent.silent
file. - 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
- Navigate to the
TIBCO_HOME/tools/universal_installer
directory. - 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, not the local directory containing the installer, then provide the absolute path of the response file. - 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"
