Uninstall the Software Development Kit from Microsoft Windows

Uninstall the IBM® Cognos® Software Development Kit if you no longer require your IBM Cognos product or if you are upgrading the IBM Cognos software.

Procedure

  1. From the Start menu, click Programs, IBM Cognos 10, Uninstall IBM Cognos, Uninstall IBM Cognos.

    The Uninstall wizard appears.

    Tip: IBM Cognos 10 is the default name of the Microsoft Windows operating system Program Folder that is created during the installation. If you chose another name, go to that folder to find the program.

  2. Follow the prompts to begin the uninstallation.
  3. When you are prompted to select the packages you want to uninstall, click the check box for IBM Cognos Software Development Kit and then click Next.
  4. Continue following the prompts to complete the uninstallation.

    The IBM Cognos_uninst_log.htm file records the activities that the Uninstall wizard performs while uninstalling files.

    Tip: To find the log file, look in the Temp directory.

  5. Delete all temporary Internet files.

    For more information, see your Web browser documentation.

    Uninstalling does not remove any files that changed since the installation, such as configuration and user data files. Your installation location remains on your computer, and you retain these files until you delete them manually.
