   note

   The installer will use the Windows Installer Interface if the process mode (/quiet or /passive) is unspecified.

Example

To uninstall openit_9_18_150_clims_client_x64.msi, located at C:\Installers, in unattended mode with all logging information stored in an output log file at C:\uninstall.log:

Example

msiexec /x "C:\Installers\openit_9_18_150_clims_client_x64.msi" /l*v "C:\uninstall.log" /passive

note

When using the passive mode, wait until the process bar dialog disappears.

When using the quiet mode, verify that the uninstallation is complete by opening the Task Manager and checking in the Details tab if the msiexec process is still running.

Unix

Uninstalling through the Terminal

To uninstall the CLIMS Client software, open a terminal with root user privileges and run the following command:

rpm -e openit-clims-client

If there are errors regarding multiple packages with the same name, run the following command to check:

rpm -qa | grep openit-clims-client

Ensure that the list does not include any unintended applications. This is a known issue due to upgrading the software through the web interface. To proceed with the uninstallation, run the following command:

rpm -e openit-clims-client --allmatches

If the command above does not work, try this:

rpm -e openit-clims-client --noscripts
