Procedure
To uninstall the product across the enterprise:
- Optional: Edit the IM_response_uninstall.bat and IM_run_silent_uninstall.bat scripts
to change the default parameters for:
- The location and file names for the generated log and response
files

- The location of IBM Installation
Manager, Version 1.5.1, if it
is not installed into the default installation directory. On Windows,
the default installation directory is C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation
Manager
- The location of the installation files for the product. For example,
if the installation files are on a DVD that is in a drive that is

them for the installation batch files. The parameter values must match
the values in the installation batch files.
