under the same package group that are extensions of the offering.
For example, the
WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment offering requires IBM SDK, Java™ Technology
Edition. Both the product offering (com.ibm.websphere.ND.v90) and the Java SDK
(com.ibm.java.jdk.v8) must be uninstalled.
- Optional: Uninstall IBM Installation Manager.
Important: Before you can uninstall IBM
Installation Manager, you must uninstall all of the packages that were installed by Installation
Manager.
