Removing a Release Registration

You can remove any or all release registrations. Unregistering a release removes its Start menu items but does not uninstall the release. To use the release again, you can re-register the release later.

Prerequisites

  • You have one or more releases of any version installed.

  • You have administrator privileges on the system.

Procedure

  1. Open the Release Switcher.
  2. In the Switch From Release field, use the dropdown list or Browse button to select the release you want to unregister. If you want to remove registrations from additional releases, click Select Additional Releases to Unregister and choose all releases that you want to unregister.
    Note:

    If you do not remove the registrations from all releases, you may receive a message to choose a new default release.

  3. If you want to specify a new default release, use the dropdown menu or Browse button in the Switch To Release field to select a release. If you are unregistering all releases, leave the Switch To Release field empty and select the Don’t Register Anything check box.
  4. Click OK.

Results

Depending on the releases you chose to unregister, either the registrator.exe or configurator.exe program runs with the ‑clean option and removes the registrations and items from the Start menu. If any active releases remain, the Release Switcher automatically re-registers them. If your environment prevents this, you must manually re-register the remaining active releases.

Note:

If you unregistered all releases, the system will not have a functional runtime environment configured for any Mentor EBS product.
