Uninstalling VisualFormat off XP client

brizrobbo

We're currently "in-between" versions (that is, we are using TS 6.5 in PROD, but testing a new version of 6.7.1). What this means, however, is that when I edit a form using VisualFormat in 6.7.1, it installs a new version of the VisualFormat tool. But when I go to edit an old TS 6.5 form, I now get strange VisualFormat behaviour (I presume because the new applet is installed).

My question is: how can I remove any trace of Visual Format from my Windows XP client machine, so that regardless of which version of TeamSite I use next, it will re-ask me to install VisualFormat?

Any help would be appreciated.

I remember there was an uninstaller - not sure if that does the trick.

If not you can search for the .ocx file that is the visualformat active x control.
I forget the full name of the .ocx file - It might have been ewebedit*.ocx

Uninstalling Visual Format Editor

Just browsing through this post, I see I have two .ocx files under the path c:\WINDOWS\system32 directory. The files are:
ewebedittoolbar5.ocx
ewebeditpro5.ocx

I am not sure whether I should delete both or just the one specified in the support article. I am on VFE 5,2,0,8 with TS 671 SP1

I have tried deleting and not deleting both files, and for all "intents-and-purposes", it doesn't appear to make much difference to uninstalling the product. However, I think deleting both is better, as it keeps your system cleaner.

On another note, even though I uninstall following the method recommended in the support article (and it does seem to "uninstall"), reviewing the registry still shows references to

ewebedit*

littered throughout. I'm not sure if this is relevant or not, but it appears to be a bit of a "messy" uninstall process.

Thanks Robbo.
