Uninstalling GSX Server on a Windows Host

Uninstalling GSX Server on a Windows Host

To uninstall GSX Server, complete the following steps. This removes all the components you installed with the GSX Server master installer, including the server software, the VMware Management Interface, the VMware Remote Console and the VMware Scripting APIs.

If you chose the custom installation path, any components you installed at that time are removed when you use the master installer to uninstall GSX Server.

  1. On a Windows Server 2003 host, choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs. Select the VMware GSX Server Master Installer and click Change.

    On a Windows 2000 host, choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs. Select the VMware GSX Server Master Installer and click Change.

    On a Windows NT host, run the VMware GSX Server Master Installer from its location on your host.
