Uninstall CQ System Software for NT

Overview

The uninstall procedure consists of two basic steps:

• Step One: Remove CQ Configuration
• Step Two: Remove the CQ program files

Step One: Remove CQ Configuration

From the Start Menu, select the JCQ folder, and select the Remove CQ Configuration option.  This will run the configuration program UNINSTALL_CQ.bat in the CQ installation directory. It will remove the CQ services that were set up during installation, and it will drop the CQ database. A GUI will appear to guide you through several tasks, most of which are done automatically.

Step Two: Uninstall program files

In the Control Panel, select Add/Remove Programs icon. Select CQEngine, and click the "Remove" button.  This will delete all of the CQ files from your system.

If you have any trouble with uninstallation, please email the CQ team at cq@cc.gatech.edu

WARNING:

• In order for the uninstall process to run smoothly you must first execute the "Remove CQ configuration" and then "Uninstall program files". If you do not follow this sequence, many files will not be removed from your system, and you may have difficulties the next time you install the CQ System.
• Uninstalling the CQ system removes the cqmeta database and the sample database. 
• Uninstall the CQ system stops and restarts MS SQL Server
• The CQ engine must be uninstalled by the same user account as the one that installed it (preferably the administrator).  Otherwise the services will not be stopped and removed.
