Symptom

How do I manually uninstall NWBC for Desktop?

Solution

It is not recommended to manually uninstall the NWBC for Desktop client. Instead, it is recommended to use the Windows process to uninstall applications. However, if it should fail, consider to remove the application by “brute force”.

The following steps can be considered:

  1. Locate the installation directory. For more information, see INSTALL.10 NWBC for Desktop File Location.

  2. Unregister all ActiveX objects.

  3. Delete all files.

  4. Remove the NWBC directory.

Here are some commands that can be considered.

Caution Caution

These commands can potentially damage your system. Execute them only at your own risk and if you are comfortable to work in a Window’s CMD shell. Especially a DEL * command permanently deletes all files in the current directory. Make sure that this command is only executed in the NWBC directory.

End of the caution.
