Uninstalling Foglight
You can uninstall Foglight using the uninstaller utility for your platform. The uninstaller can be found in <foglight_home>\UninstallerData.
The default mode for the uninstaller is the graphical user interface (GUI) mode. However, in cases where a graphics display is not available, the Foglight installer can be run from the command line by using the silent uninstaller.

2 |
Navigate to the UninstallerData directory of your Foglight installation and run the Uninstall Foglight executable. |
|
• |
To launch the uninstaller in GUI mode, simply run the Uninstall Foglight executable. |
|
• |
To launch the uninstaller in silent mode, run the Uninstall Foglight executable using the following command: ”Uninstall Foglight.exe” -i silent -f installvariables.properties |
|
3 |
After uninstallation, you can safely delete the <foglight_home> directory. It is recommended that you do so, since the uninstaller does not remove certain directories within <foglight_home>. |
