RE: How to uninstall WDSC

Rob,

The following is from an e-mail I received from IBM.  It has served me well 
when I have had to remove WDSc since then.  Some of the registry entries and 
folders may already be removed.

1. Remove for the Windows registry:
        - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\ADTS Client Server for AS/400\Install
        - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\IBM Distributed Debugger
        - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\WebSphere Studio\2.1
        - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\WebSphere Studio\Rational
        - 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\631a5ad8d2f1a8463d882348eeee9f17
 (Key for WDSc Adv Ed v5.1.2)
        - 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\51a03a8a2cdc08bec95e0eaf9a351acf
 (Key for WDSc v5.1.2)

2. From %SystemRoot%
        - Delete the VPD.properties file
        - Delete the IBMVAHLP.cfg file

3. Delete these folders
        - C:\WDSC
        - C:\IBMDEBUG
        - C:\Program Files\IBM\KCL
        - C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere Studio\Application Developer\V5.1.2
                or
          C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere Studio\Site Developer\V5.1.2

Subject: [WDSCI-L] How to uninstall WDSC


The faq used to have a link "How do I uninstall WDSC?" at
http://faq.midrange.com/data/cache/451.html
It pointed to:
http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.nsf/3cdf5d853ca698198625680b00020369/d1995639e4e1919186256dfd006b3931?OpenDocument

However IBM blasted that document.  When I search for uninstall WDSC I get
old documents referring to WDT.

What are the steps to uninstall WDSC?  I assume using add/remove programs
is a big part of it.  But I suspect registry settings, etc get left laying
around.

Going from WDSC 5.1.2 to WDSC 6 on XP.
