How to roll back / clean-reinstall
Two days ago, I was using 0.6Beta2 with the Eclipse Web Tools Platform -- I'd originally used the installer, and then used the Eclipse Europa Discovery update site to install WTP. This worked fine.
Yesterday I tried to upgrade to 1.0M5a -- after installing 1.0M5a jazz server on another server, I uninstalled my 0.6beta2 client and installed the 1.0M5a client. I then installed WTP via the update site, and was given some warnings at the time about possible configuration duplications with regard to EMF. I went ahead with the install, and could not start the client -- but this is for another thread. Now I'm trying to roll back to Beta2. I uninstall the client using the IBM Installation Manager, and then I uninstall the Installation Manager itself, and manually delete anything left over in the IBM directory. Is there more I need to do? Because when I then install an ostensibly fresh Beta2 client, I'm getting the same issues I got with the 1.0M5a client, which I wasn't getting before I installed 1.0M5a. I also tried downloading and extracting the Beta2 sans installer, but the same issues. It doesn't feel like it's truly a clean install -- is there something more I need to do? Thanks, Jim |

That sounds like it should have gotten everything. Because when I then install an ostensibly fresh Beta2 client, I'm getting the same issues I got By 'the same issue' I assume you mean the problem you described in the other thread where you are getting out of memeory errors when using WTP functionality (see my comment there)? If you installed the 'no installer' beta2 client and still saw the problem then I don't think what you are seeing is related to your client bits themselves as the no installer version doesn't use anything from the installation manager or installation manager install. It is self-contained. Only thing I can think of that would be in common would be your workspace assuming you didn't create a new one. -James RTC Install Team |
