Uninstalling the stand-alone IBM MQ Explorer on Windows

On Windows, we can either uninstall the stand-alone IBM MQ Explorer by using the Control Panel or by performing a silent uninstallation.

About this task

On Windows, we can uninstall the stand-alone IBM MQ Explorer by using either Add or Remove Programs or Programs and Features, unless you installed IBM MQ Explorer silently on a Windows system with User Account Control (UAC). On Windows UAC platforms, if you performed a silent installation, we must also perform the uninstallation silently,

If you see the following error message it is most likely because we are trying to use Programs and Features to uninstall an installation of the stand-alone IBM MQ Explorer that was installed silently
