GOAL:
How can I manually uninstall a WebClient Application?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
Progress 9.1x
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
Go to Control Panel
Select the "Add or Remove Programs" option.
Locate the listing for "<insert Vendor Name here> Application" within the Add/Remove Programs list.
Highlight the reference and select Remove.
If the application is not visible among that Add/Remove Programs list then it will have to be manually removed.
The first step to removing the WebClient installation is remove of the registry keys.
Make sure to backup the Windows registry prior to any changes made.
(The regedit.exe or regedt32.exe tools have online help on how to export all or part of the registry to files.)
Remove the following keys:
HKey_Local_Machine\Software\>VendorName>\<AppName>
HKey_Current_User\Software\<VendorName>\<AppName>
HKey_Local_Machine\Software\WebClient\Applications <VendorName>/<AppName>
After all registry keys have been removed make sure no programs are running which might be using any ActiveX files or DLL files installed by the application then manually delete the ActiveX files and / or DLL's installed by the application.
Finally delete the <VendorName>\<AppName> directory which is under the WebClientApps folder of the hard drive (typically within the Program Files\WebClientApps).
