Uninstalling Components
The HEW provides a built in uninstaller method, which can remove unregistered components.
To uninstall a component:

Select [Tools->Administration…].
2.
Click on the uninstaller button. The “Uninstall HEW Tool” dialog is invoked (figure 5.8).

3. Enter the directory in which you would like to search into the top field or browse to it graphically by
clicking the “Browse…” button.
4. Check the “Include subfolders” check box if you would like to search the directory specified and all
directories below it.
5. Click the “Start” button to begin the search. During the search, the “Start” button will change to a “Stop”
button. Click the “Stop” button to halt the search at any time.
6. The results of the search are shown in the “Located Tools which can be uninstalled” list. Select a
component and click “Uninstall” to uninstall a component.
7. Click “Exit” to exit the dialog.
A component may only be uninstalled if it is not currently registered with the HEW. If you attempt to uninstall a
tool, which is registered, then the dialog shown in figure 5.9 will be displayed. In such a case, you must return to
the “Tools Administration” dialog via [Tools->Administration…], unregister the tool and then invoke the tool
uninstaller again.
