Uninstall Liberty fix packs from distributed operating systems using the GUI

We can roll back WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core to an earlier version using the Installation Manager GUI.

During the rollback process, Installation Manager must access files from the earlier version of the package. By default, these files are stored on the computer when we install a package. If we change the default setting or delete the saved files, Installation Manager requires access to the repository that was used to install the earlier version.

Important: Installation Manager can install any fix-pack level of the product directly without installing the intermediate fix packs; in fact, Installation Manager installs the latest level by default. For example, we can skip fix-pack levels and go from v8.5.5.1 directly to v8.5.5.5. Keep in mind, however, that later we can not roll back to any level that was skipped. If you directly install to v8.5.5.5, for example, we cannot roll back to v8.5.5.4. If you skip from v8.5.5.1 to v8.5.5.5, we can only roll back to v8.5.5.1.
