Unable to Uninstall Code Composer Studio V4

I have installed Code Composer Studio 4.1.2.00027 on my Windows 7 64bit development system and I can't uninstall it.

When I try to uninstall I get the following message:

FYI I'm trying to uninstall so that I can reinstall and hopefully fix some debugging crash problems I'm having, but that's another post.

    Matt,

    I can reproduce the problem on Win7 64bit.  I have filed SDSCM00037369 to track this.  You can just delete the installation directory, that will leave behind some driver files but it gets rid of most content.

    Regards,

    Hi Matt.

    I want to do the same thing but I get the same error message that you do. I want to uninstall and then reinstall at a different location.

    What did you do to solve your problem?

     

    Thanks.

    Just delete the installation directory.  Personally I never run the uninstaller as it takes too long.  I just delete the folder.

    I always run the uninstaller otherwise it leaves orphaned files everywhere and does not clean out the registry entries.

    I will just delete the folder for now.

    Thanks.

    I have had the same trouble and same error messeges recently when trying to update and uninstall 4.1.2.00027 on a Win7 64bit machine.

    If I follow John's advice and just delete the folders out of the program files (x86) directory, and then I try to reinstall to a path outside the UAC enabled folders, will the orphaned files from just deleting out of the program files(x86) folder cause issues w/ the new install?  Will server licensing be an issue in the new install as well?

    I have the same concerns as newbie in that orphaned files and registry entries can become troublesome, but if just deleting the folder in the program files directory and doing a fresh install outside the UAC folders is the best recommendation, then so be it.

    Any recommendations as to good paths to install outside UAC folders yet will be accessilbe to all users on a machine?

    Thanks!

    There will be some orphaned files left behind but this should not be a problem.  As far as the registry CCSv4 (unlike previous version) makes little use of the registry.  You will have some start menu items and desktop shortcuts that you may need to delete.

    I install all my tools into C:\Development Tools
