Uninstalling mvBase

In the past, earlier releases of mvBase had options to retain the mvBase Server licensing information and the VMS files with some of their associated configuration information. This information and the files could be retained for convenience of reinstalling mvBase.

Other later releases of mvBase extended the amount of information, which can be retained when uninstalling. This included all registry settings containing the Server and Workstation configuration information as well as the actual database files.

mvBase continues to support the same level of retention of configuration information registry settings.

To remove mvBase

Select Start > Settings > Control Panel.
Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.

The Add/Remove Programs Properties dialog box displays.
Select mvBase 3.2 and click Change/Remove.

A message displays confirming the mvBase uninstall.
Click Yes to confirm that you want to continue with the uninstall procedure.

A message displays asking whether you want to remove all mvBase database files and configuration settings.

Do one of the following:
- Click Yes to preform a complete mvBase uninstall (including all database files and configuration settings).
- Click No to perform a partial uninstall (database files and configuration settings will not be removed). If this option is selected, a dialog box displays prompting whether you want to retain the database files and configuration settings. Click OK to continue.

The UNInstallShield is launched. Once the UNInstallShield is launched, the Remove Programs from Your Computer dialog box displays, which confirms that your uninstall was successful or provides you with details on any remaining components

(Optional) Click Details if there are remaining mvBase components.

The Details dialog box displays the remaining components.
Click OK.

The uninstall is complete. If there are remaining components, as shown in step 5, remove them now and restart your computer. mvBase is successfully removed from your computer.
