Core Content Only

When attempting to install or uninstall Content Server or the related services on a Windows box you may occasionally run into some problems. Whatever the scenario is, you may get to a place where you need to manually uninstall the services.

Note: As you will recall, uninstalling Content Server is generally a very simple task of finding the bin directory on the command line and issuing this command:

Installer UnregisterAll

This should cleanup everything. When it doesn't, you can attempt these maneuvers:

-cs install-\bin\IdcServerNT -uninstall -cs install-\admin\bin\IdcAdminNT -uninstall -ibr install-\bin\IdcRefineryNT -uninstall

If this doesn't work, you can also try this beauty:

sc delete "service name"

And finally, you can go hack the registry at your own risk:

1. Open command prompt
2. Type "regedit"
3. Press enter
4. Navigate to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services'
5. Find service name you wish to remove
6. Select it
7. Delete it
