Uninstalling PowerExchange on Windows

Use this procedure to uninstall PowerExchange on Windows.

To uninstall a PowerExchange version earlier than 9.0.1, remove the program from the Windows

Control Panel

To uninstall PowerExchange 9.0.1 or later, perform the following actions:

Ensure that the PATH environment variable includes the path to the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

For example, the JRE might be installed under the Informatica clients:

C:\Informatica\9.6.1\clients\java\jre\bin

From the Windows

Start

menu, expand the

Informatica PowerExchange v.r.m

folder and click

Uninstall PowerExchange v.r.m

For example, click

Informatica PowerExchange 10.1.1

Uninstall PowerExchange 10.1.1

The uninstall program displays a message that prompts you to confirm the removal of all PowerExchange components. Click

to continue.

If the program group is not in the

Start

menu, you can double-click the

Uninstaller.exe

executable file in the

pwx_installation_directory\Uninstaller_pwx

directory.

If the uninstaller fails to initialize with a message that reports a Windows error 2 occurred while loading the Java VM, ensure that the PATH environment variable includes the current path to the JRE. Then, from the

Start

menu, right-click

Command Prompt

and select

Run as administrator

. Change (cd) to the directory that contains the PowerExchange Uninstaller.exe file. Then run Uninstaller.exe with the LAX_VM parameter pointing to the JRE installation. For example:

Unstaller.exe LAX_VM "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_77\bin\java.exe"

Click

The uninstall program prompts you to stop all PowerExchange services before you proceed.

Perform one of the following actions:

If no PowerExchange services are running, click

Continue

to proceed with the uninstallation.

If any PowerExchange services are running, click

to return to the previous window and stop the services.

At the prompt, select whether to uninstall the binary files only or completely remove PowerExchange from the system.

If you select to uninstall the binary files only, PowerExchange removes the following items:

PowerExchange binaries

Path to the PowerExchange binaries from the PATH environment variable

PowerExchange Listener service

If you select to completely remove PowerExchange from the system, PowerExchange removes the preceding items and also removes registry entries that the PowerExchange Navigator created.
