Uninstall Client

How to uninstall Adaptiva clients on Windows, macOS, and Linux devices.

Uninstall the Windows client

The experience to uninstall the Adaptiva Client changes slightly between the full Windows installer and the P2P installer.

Full Windows Installer

Run the adaptiva-client-<version>-windows.exe and select the Uninstall button. To run the uninstallation silently, run the corresponding installation executable with a -uninstall switch on the command-line.

For example:

adaptiva-client-<version>-windows.exe -uninstall

Windows P2P Installer

The Peer-to-Peer (P2P) client MSI installer can also be used to perform a client uninstallation. You can run the installer and select the Uninstall button or you can run a silent uninstallation from the command-line with the -uninstall switch.

For example:

msiexec.exe /i adaptiva-client-p2p-<version>-windows.msi /qn UNINSTALL=1

Uninstall with cached data

This uninstall command removes any version of the Adaptiva Client, whereas the standard Windows Installer parameter (/x) only removes the specific version associated with the MSI, since each MSI is version-specific.

• Uninstall and leave the files in the AdaptivaCache folder:

  msiexec.exe /I adaptiva-client-p2p-<version>-windows.msi /q UNINSTALL=1 NOCACHEDEL=1

Uninstall the Linux Client

Open a command shell and run the following command:

sudo apt remove adaptiva-client

or

sudo dnf remove adaptiva-client

or

sudo zypper remove adaptiva-client

Uninstall the MacOS Client

Open a command shell and run the following command:

sudo /opt/adaptiva/adaptivaclient/bin/uninstall
