Uninstalling Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold

To uninstall Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold:

1. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel, then select Add or Remove Programs.
2. Select Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold.
3. Select Remove.

You can also run the Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold installation program, then select Remove.

Select one of the following dialog options:

• Remove the WhatsUp Gold application, but leave network data I have collected intact. This uninstalls the WhatsUp Gold program but keeps all your WhatsUp configuration data as well as the monitoring data you have collected. SQL Server 2005 Express will not be uninstalled.
• Remove both the WhatsUp Gold application, and all network data I have collected. This uninstalls the WhatsUp program and removes all of your WhatsUp configuration and monitoring data.
• Also, remove the "WhatsUp" copy of SQL Server Express Edition. This also removes the "WhatsUp" SQL Server Express Edition instance that was created during the installation. Select this option to remove ALL WhatsUp components from the system.

  Note: When this option is selected, WhatsUp Gold leaves SOME data behind, such as the \HTML directory and the \Data directory for situations where there may be user-modified or user-created files in those directories.
