Uninstalling Chili!Soft ASP

You can uninstall Chili!Soft ASP 3.6 by running the script named "uninstall" located in the Chili!Soft ASP installation directory.

Note

There is not option to uninstall Chili!Soft ASP on Cobalt platforms.

When you uninstall the Chili!Soft ASP 3.6 bundle, you have the option to uninstall the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions and the Apache Web Server that were included in the bundle. When you uninstall a custom installation of Chili!Soft ASP 3.6, you have the following two options:

·   Uninstall the entire product. If you choose this option, the uninstaller automatically removes the ASP engine and all of the files and directories contained under the Chili!Soft ASP installation directory.

·   Perform a staged uninstall. If you choose this option, you are prompted about whether or not to remove the ASP engine and the files and directories contained in the Chili!Soft ASP installation directory.

When you run the uninstaller, you can delete all of the directories and files contained in the Chili!Soft ASP installation directory. Before beginning the uninstall, be sure to make copies of any files contained under this directory that you do not want to lose.
