Uninstalling WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and Express Plus using the GUI

IBM provides an uninstallation GUI program that lets you remove your entire WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus installation, or select specific components for removal. The uninstaller program does not uninstall the software prerequisites. You have to do this manually, according to the instructions provided with the specific prerequisite.

Note:
Before you uninstall, make sure that none of the processes associated with InterChange Server Express are running. If they are, stop them. One way to accomplish this is to open Task manager and see if any of these processes are running. If they are, stop them. Be careful not to stop any processes associated with other applications.

To run the uninstallation GUI, do the following:

  1. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel.
  2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
  3. Scroll down and select IBM WebSphere Business Integration Server Express v4.4 or IBM WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus v4.4 (depending on which product is installed), and select the Change/Remove button.
    Note:
    The estimate of disk space that will become free after uninstallation, which is shown in the Add/Remove Programs tool, can be incorrect if multiple products are installed in the same folder.

    The uninstallation welcome screen appears.

  4. On the uninstallation welcome screen, select Next.

    The uninstallation feature screen appears. The installed components appear with checks next to them.

  5. On the uninstallation feature screen, leave any components selected that you want to be removed and select Next.

    The pre-uninstallation summary screen appears.

  6. On the pre-uninstallation summary screen, select Next to confirm your selections. The uninstaller removes the selected components.

    The post-uninstallation finish screen appears.

  7. On the post-uninstallation finish screen, select Finish to exit the uninstallation GUI.

Note:
You might need to manually delete the C:\IBM\WebSphereServer directory.

A silent uninstallation is also available. See Appendix. Silently installing and uninstalling for instructions on performing a silent uninstallation.
