Uninstalling

To uninstall the product, you cannot simply delete its files from your hard disk. To uninstall the product:

Log in with the same user-ID as you used when you installed the product.
Click Uninstall a program under Programs (or Add/Remove Programs on older versions of Windows) in Control Panel.
On older versions of Windows such as Windows XP, ensure that Show Updates (at the top of the Add or Remove Programs dialog) is checked, so that any hot fixes or WrapPacks are listed.
Select the product and click Remove or Uninstall as appropriate.

During the uninstall process, only those files added during the installation (to the installation and Samples directories) are removed.

If the product directory has not been removed, delete any unwanted files and subdirectories within it using Windows Explorer.

Important: The installer creates separate installations for Micro Focus COBOL Server and Micro Focus License Administration. Uninstalling only COBOL Server does not automatically uninstall the Micro Focus License Administration or any of the prerequisite software.

To completely remove the product you must uninstall the Micro Focus License Administration as well.

You can optionally remove the prerequisite software. For instructions, check the documentation of the respective software vendor.

To silently uninstall the product, you need the setup file and you need to execute the following at the command line:

start /wait install-file.exe /quiet /uninstall
