Environment

All

Resolution

A) To uninstall BE and all the TIBCO products follow the next steps:

1. Download the .silent file uninstall.silent.
2. Modify the path for key="uninstallTIBCOHome" with your TIBCO_HOME path.
3. In a command line go to the directory where you have the TIBCOUniversalInstaller-x86-64 executable. Usually, you can find it under TIBCO_HOME\tools\universall_installer, it can be run from any other directory, for example from the installer directory.
4. Run the following command (please replace the .exe in the command according to your operating system):
TIBCOUniversalInstaller-x86-64.exe -silent -V responseFile="<silent File name>"  -V uninstallAllProducts="true"
set the "responseFile" equal to the absolute path to the file or place the .silent file in the same directory where you have the TIBCOUniversalInstaller-x86-64 and set responseFile="filename.silent".

B) To uninstall just BE follow the next steps:

1. Download the .silent file beuninstall.silent.
2. Modify the path for key="uninstallTIBCOHome" with your TIBCO_HOME path.
3. In a command line go to the directory where you have the TIBCOUniversalInstaller-x86-64 executable. Usually, you can find it under TIBCO_HOME\tools\universall_installer,  it can be run from any other directory, for example from the installer directory.
4. Run the following command (please replace the .exe in the command according to your operating system):
TIBCOUniversalInstaller-x86-64.exe -silent -V responseFile="<silent File name>"
set the "responseFile" equal to the absolute path to the file or place the .silent file in the same directory where you have the TIBCOUniversalInstaller-x86-64 and set responseFile="filename.silent".

When the process finishes successfully for option B you will see the next:

1.If under TIBCO_HOME folder is just BE the process is going to clean up the folder (TIBCO_HOME), also it will be deleted if you are running the TIBCOUniversalInstaller from a different directory.
3.If under TIBCO_HOME folder is BE and other applications the process is not going to clean up the whole BE folder, because it is designed to clean up the TIBCO_HOME. Then you can delete the BE folder manually.
