Uninstall BH560v2, etc.

Hi Clyde,

Have you tried using the uninstaller located here?

C:\CCS\5_1_RC1\ccsv5\ccs_base\emulation

There is a blackhawk unistaller - uninstall_bh_emupack.exe

Otherwise there may be some components that need manual uninstallation (eg deletion) or a reboot.

Is there any specific reason you wish to uninstall these items? 

Best Regards,
Lisa

I don't use the other programs ... they clutter my hard disk.

Hi Clyde,

no worries.  Did you try that emu uninstaller I pointed you to?

I have not had the time ... other than look at the emulation subdir (ccsv4).  The cryptic file names do not make it obvious which files should be uninstalled.

So what is the proper interpretation of the cryptic files?

Hi Clyde,

I am not sure what you are looking to know but many of these names etc are to do with the emulators and some come from Spectrum Digital.

EG

Sd560v2Cnfg - spectrum digital 560v2 config

uninstall_bh_emupack.exe  - uninstall blackhack (bh) emulation pack (emupack)

Hope this helps ...

Cheers,
Lisa

The icons on my screen are: SD560v2Cnfg ... SdConfigExv4 ... and BH560v2ConfigUtility.  Which programs should be run to remove them?

Hi Clyde,

is it still an uninstall you are working through?  These are utilities to configure the blackhawk emulators.   If you uninstalled blackhawk in your programs and settings and run the utility I pointed you to, these should actually be dead shortcuts for you now.

Or do I misinterpret your question?

Best Regards,

I'm not working through anything.  I'm waiting for a response that describes how to remove these extra program. 

I removed Blackhawk because it was listed in Control Panel -> Add or Remove Program listing.  The other programs were not listed.

Running "uninstall_bh_emupack.exe" does nothing ... no response.

What are the names of the programs that will uninstall SD560v2Cnfg ... SdConfigExv4 ... and BH560v2ConfigUtility?

Note that I do not want to uninstall Code Composer.

I recommend just keeping them around as there are some dependencies.  For example, many of our EVMs have integrated Spectrum Digital emulation so if you remove the Spectrum Digital drivers then you wouldn't be able to use those EVMs.  Most of the shortcuts on your desktop are not really "installed", i.e. there are no corresponding registry entries.  The "installer" is just copying them to your hard drive.  So for example if you want to reclaim 853KB of disk space you could delete the ccsv5\ccs_base\emulation\specdig\sdconfigex folder.  For this tiny amount of disk space rather than risk breaking something (or perhaps needing it some day) I highly recommend just deleting the shortcuts from your desktop and moving on.

The TI Code Composer upgrade program should be modified so it does not install additional, unwanted programs. 

Will TI fix their upgrade program?

What version did you have before the upgrade?  What do you have now?  I can check with the team. It may already be fixed in CCS 5.1 as they made many changes/fixes/enhancements related to the installer. 

Can you be any more specific with regard to what option you did not check?

Version 4.2.4.  It's been a few days ago, so I don't recall all of the options.  I unchecked everything but Code Composer.
