Uninstalling Back4

Build 1501 on 14/Nov/2017  This topic last edited on: 21/Mar/2016, at 18:34

The Back4 service is uninstalled using the InstallUtil.exe tool with the /u option.

Note: if there are DLL registered in GAC (see Registering DLLs in GAC for version 1.5 or newer), unregister them before uninstalling Back4.

To uninstall Back4

Note: this assumes that Back4.Exe is stored in c:\Program Files\Tera\GN4\bin. If not so, adjust the below path accordingly.

Execute this line from the command prompt in c:\Program Files\Tera\GN4\bin:

On 64-bit systems:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /u back4.exe

On 32-bit systems:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /u back4.exe

NOTE

If you have installed Back4 with an instance name, you must use that name to uninstall.

Example

If you installed the Back4 service with a named instance, such as:

..\InstallUtil.exe /Instance=MySite back4.exe

 

You must uninstalled it using the same named instance:

..\InstallUtil.exe /Instance=MySite /u back4.exe
