Uninstalling PowerExchange on Windows

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:
  1. 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
  2. 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
    Next
    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"
  3. Click
    Next
    .
    The uninstall program prompts you to stop all PowerExchange services before you proceed.
  4. 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
      OK
      to return to the previous window and stop the services.
  5. 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.
