CCSv5.1 uninstall didn't finish properly

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430WARE

Code Composer Studio did not uninstall cleanly.

Here is my setup:

Dell Latitude E6410
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3
Code Composer Studio Version 5.1.0.09000

This is what I see after an attempted uninstall from Start --> Control Panel --> Add or Rmove Programs --> Remove button from Code Composer Studio v5 row item

During the uninstall, the progress bar did not show any progress.  It was empty until this window was replaced by one showing that the uninstallation had finished.

  • Hi Jason,

    yes, this is something I have seen myself many times.

    I can certainly give the feedback but I don not think there is a work around at the moment.

    Best Regards,

    Lisa

  • Here are the additional steps I've done after the conventional uninstallation I described above:

    1. Delete Code Composer Studio shortcut from C:\TI
    2. Delete the Code Composer Studio v5 folder from within the start menu
    3. Start --> Run --> regedit.exe
    4. Delete Code Composer Studio folder from My Computer > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Uninstall
    5. Shut down
    6. Turn on computer

    Screenshots of these steps are in the attached zip file.

  • Hi Jason,

    yes even our team tends to do quite a manual uninstall at times.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

  • The uninstallation plus added steps I described above was successful.  My measurement of success is the next version of Code Composer Studio (Version 5.1.1.00028) has successfully installed.

    I don't have a clear answer for you since I'm not working with Windows 7 yet.  Here is an article that is specific to Windows 7 registry keys.

    How To Delete Registry Keys in Windows 7 

    For some installations, it's not clear by the folder name what the key is for.  In this case, you need to look at the field called, "DisplayName," to find what you're looking for.  Here's an example.

    Here is my setup:

    Dell Latitude E6410
    Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3
    Code Composer Studio Version 5.1.1.00031 (upgraded from 5.1.1.00028 which was a fresh installation)

    Start --> Control Panel --> Add or Rmove Programs --> Remove button from Code Composer Studio v5 row item

    The only anomoly I noticed this time was a mismatch on the published version of what was supposed to be CCS Version 5.1.1.00031.

    5.1.1.00031 from CCS > Help > About
    5.1.1.00028 from Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > "Click here for support information" on CCSv5 row
