I tried to uninstall using the FME Server installer (EXE) file, the status stay at "removing files" for long time without progression.

 

I tried to uninstall the server from Windows control panel, the process hangs as well.

 

I need to reinstall the server from C:\\ to D:\\ drive, the repair does not allow me to do that.

 

Please advise how I can remove the Server 2021 from Window 2019 server platfor.

 

Thanks

Helen

Hi @defence_hyang​, The process can take a while, have you tried leaving it alone to see if it finishes? Is there a Windows prompt that may be halting the uninstall that is hidden by other windows? Are you uninstalling as an Administrator on the server machine?

Hi, Thanks for the reply.

I did wait for 2 hours, and no progress. I endup manually deleted files from locations and window registry.
