Re: How to uninstall WDSC

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Can we do the same if we already installed 6.0 and want to remove the 
5.1.2 version now that we are satisfied it is working OK?  The earlier 
thread ([WDSCI-L] RE: 5.1.2.5 vs 6.0 co-existence and 5.2.1.5 removal) 
just kind of headed off topic after the suggestion to uninstall 5.1.2 first.

I retained 5.1.2 just in case 6.0 was a mess (and it isn't!).

How ugly does all this get if we also have WEME (Websphere Everyplace 
Micro Environment) installed along with the Device Developer? Man, they 
really meant "Websphere Everywhere" when you install their tools!....

Thanks,

Pete Helgren
