Uninstalling in silent mode
Steps to carry out a silent uninstallation.
To
perform a silent uninstallation by using a response file template
listed in Table 1, perform
the following steps:
- Copy the relevant response file to a local directory <local_dir> and edit the file to meet the needs of your environment.
- Save the file with your changes.
- Open a command-line utility.
- Go to the Installation Managertools directory. The default tools directory is:
- On Windows operating systems
- C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse\tools
- On UNIX and Linux operating systems
- /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools
- Run the following command:
- On Windows operating systems
imcl.exe input <local_dir>\response_file.xml -log <local_dir>\log_file.xml -acceptLicense
- On UNIX and Linux operating systems
./imcl input /<local_dir>/response_file.xml -log /<local_dir>/log_file.xml -acceptLicense
where- The response_file.xml is the name of the response file to be used for uninstallation.
- The log_file is the name of the log file that records the result of the silent uninstall execution. For more information about Installation Manager silent log files, see Installation Manager wizard, silent installation and uninstallation log files.
