Question

 how to uninstall the application?
 Any one help me to uninstall the application silently.

Answer

Check the packaging KB. You need to have an RSP that calls out the modules to uninstall. Then you have to call a custom RSP.

Here's mine for v10. Notice lines like DEINSTALL_LIST

Command:



 setup -deinstall -silent -nowait -responseFile uninstall.rsp

RSP:



 RESPONSEFILE_VERSION=2.2.1.0.0

Answer

just what turbo said.
  
 but be aware that you will not completely remove all the files in your local if you uninstall it. Some files of oracle will remain. its up to you if you should remove it. But its recommended to leave it as is.

Answer

Not sure if the script RSP will remove the entry out of the system path.  Unless there is really a good resason i would just remove it from the system path and not bother with an uninstall.

Answer

jB!, I found this parameter after I finished building my Oracle packages "-removeallfiles".  Didn't try it, but perhaps it would remove the orphan files after uninstall.
 
 http://youngcow.net/doc/oracle10g/em.102/b16227/c_oui_appendix.htm

Answer

yes turbo, i also tried using that parameter, even tried using -removeAllPatches since I installed the client with a patch. But the result was the same. On the other hand, perhaps if someone outhere already successfully remove those orphan files buy just using oracle's uninstall parameters , let us know. [:)]
  
 again thanks turbo!

Answer

Hi,
 I have tried that command line.while checking through the task manager it start the uninstallation process then it stopped.it is not uninstalled.
  
 Any more idea?
  
 Thanks & Regards,
 Mani

Answer

Did you author an RSP?

Answer
