left with writeable permission.
/var/opt/novell/tomcat5/webapps/nps/UninstallerData/
.com.zerog.registry.xml
/var/opt/novell/tomcat5/webapps/nps/UninstallerData/
Uninstall_<PluginName>/.com.zerog.registry.xml
<PluginName>
- The name of the plug-in installed on iManager.
You must change the permissions from 600 to 644 using the
chmod
command. However, you should
not modify the content in the files. If you modify, it might impact the other installations that use
InstallAnywhere.
1.5.3 iManager Server on Windows
If the iManager 2.7 installation routine detects a previously installed version of iManager 2.5 or 2.6,
it prompts you that it will remove the existing iManager and Tomcat. If you do not want this to
happen, stop the installation.
