Uninstalling-Reinstalling the DCA on Windows

Uninstalling the DCA also automatically uninstalls the JDK and ServletExec.

Caution: If you are uninstalling the DCA as part of a reinstallation, and you have customized settings in the DCA properties files or parser, you may want to backup these files before proceeding.

To Uninstall the DCA

  1. Stop the DCA server. Caution: Failure to do this will prevent the DCA from uninstalling properly.

  2. From the Windows Start Bar, select Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Dynamic Content Adapter 2.01.

  3. Delete the DCA directory, along with all of its subdirectories.

  4. The DCA Uninstaller will not fully remove the DCA. After running the uninstall, use Windows Explorer to delete it.

  5. Reboot your server.

  6. Caution: Certain files used by the DCA uninstall are not removed from the system until the server is rebooted. Failure to reboot the server after an uninstall can adversely affect a subsequent reinstallation of the DCA.
