Removing DeskMan/2 Components

Use this procedure if you wish to remove all or selected DeskMan/2 components.

1. Open the DeskMan/2 Install object in the DevTech folder, or run the INSTALL.EXE file from an OS/2 command line interface. The DeskMan/2 Installation Tool will display the welcome screen. Open the Actions menu, select the Remove components submenu, and notice that the DeskMan/2 Installation Tool provides two options:
   • Unregister Components - Selecting this menu item will uninstall the DeskMan/2 components you select, but will not remove the associated files from your disk drive. You can later reinstall the components without using the installation diskettes.
   • Remove Components - Selecting this menu item will uninstall the DeskMan/2 components you select, and will also remove the associated files from your disk drive. To reinstall the components you removed, you will need the installation diskettes. This menu item will not remove files created by DeskMan/2 during normal use, such as the archive and configuration files. You must remove these manually. Neither will this menu item remove changes made to your CONFIG.SYS file.

   If you selected Unregister Components, go to Step 2 at this time. If you selected Remove Components, go to Step 3 at this time.

2. If you selected Unregister Components, the DeskMan/2 Installation Tool will ask which components to uninstall.

   Select the components you wish to uninstall. The DeskMan/2 Installation Tool will unregister these components, but will leave the program and supporting files on your disk. These components will not be usable until you reinstall them.

   Click your <left mouse button> once on the button labeled Uninstall, then go on to Step 4.

3. If you selected Remove Components, the DeskMan/2 Installation Tool will ask which components to remove.

   Select the components you wish to remove, click your left mouse button once on the button labeled Remove, then go on to Step 4.

4. The DeskMan/2 Installation Tool will uninstall or remove the components you selected and tell you when it has finished.

   Click your left mouse button on the button labeled OK, and the DeskMan/2 Installation Tool will return you to the Welcome screen.

5. Click your left mouse button on the button labeled Exit, then shut down your computer using the Shut down item on the desktop pop-up menu, and restart your computer to complete the installation.
