Uninstalling VFE

I have a user who wants to uninstall VFE and I can't figure out how or find any documentation on it.

Any pointers?

If your customer is on a Windows client (most likely is) then just go through the standard uninstall procedure for any Windows software:

Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> (Select "Interwoven TeamSite Visual Format") -> Uninstall

that didnt work for us, here is a more complete fix:

Below are the steps to completely remove the VFE install from the client's machine.

---------------------

If you installed automatically through Internet Explorer:

On your computer, go to your main windows folder such as c:\windows, c:\winnt or c:\win98. Find a sub folder named Downloaded Program Files. In that folder, find the eWebEditPro file named: (version 4.x) eWebEditProLibCtl4.eWEPLoader or (version 3.x) eWebEditProLibCtl3.eWebEditPro or (version 2.x) eWebEditProLibCtl.eWebEditPro or (version 1.x) eWebEditorPro.eWebEditPro

Right click on the file and select Remove.

Next, go to the system32 directory and look for the following files:

Version 4.x

ActBar2.ocx

eWebEditToolbar4.ocx

eWebEditRTF4.ocx

ekclean4.dll

ewebschemastore4.dll

Version 3.x

ActBar2.ocx

eWebEditToolbar3.ocx

eWebEditRTF3.ocx

ekversion.dll

ekclean3.dll

ewebschemastore3.dll

Version 2.x

ActBar2.ocx

eWebEditToolbar.ocx

eWebEditRTF.ocx

ekversion.dll

ekclean.dll

If you see any of those files, you may have to open up a Command Prompt and unregister those files using regsvr32 /u {file name}.

In the Command Prompt change directory to the system32 directory. For example, cd windows\system32, cd winnt\system32 or cd win98\system32

CAUTION: The ActBar2.ocx file may be used by other applications on your computer. If you do not plan to re-install eWebEditPro Client, do not unregister ActBar2.ocx.

Now type: regsvr32 /u actbar2.ocx and press enter. You should get a message box telling you the operation succeeded.

Repeat those steps for the remaining files and once you have finished, delete the files and reboot the machine.

The Java Client Users should go to the /httpd/iw/ewebeditpro20/httpd/iw/ewebeditpro20, double click on "visualformatclient.exe". This will launch installer and prompt for reinstall/remove. User should select "remove". After this step, it still necessary to go to IE and remove "eWebEditProLibCtl.eWebEditpro" from Tools/Internet Options/Settings/View Objects (if it's not done previously).

The editor is now completely removed from the system.
