Uninstalling MES

You can remove all the MES products and components installed on a node.

To remove only certain products or components on the node, see Modifying What MES Products or Components Are Installed.

Note: Uninstalling MES from the Control Panel or using the Setup tool does not uninstall License Manager or BI Gateway. If you want to uninstall those products, they have to be uninstalled separately.

To uninstall MES on a node

1. From the node, do one of the following:

   • In the Control Panel Programs and Features applet, select Manufacturing Execution System and click Uninstall or Uninstall/Change on the toolbar.

   • Run the Setup.exe file in the MES installation root folder.

   The Setup tool options appear.

   

2. Select Remove, and then click Next.

   The Uninstall confirmation screen appears.

   

3. To continue with the uninstall process, click Uninstall.

   If any applications that might conflict with the uninstall are running, a list of them appears.

   

4. Close the applications, then click the Try Again button to see if there are still any conflicts.

   • If there are still conflicting applications running, close them and click the Try Again button.

   • If there are no conflicting applications, click Next.

   The uninstall begins. The following screen appears when it completes successfully.

   

5. To close the Setup tool, click Finish.
