Removing from Windows

There are several ways to remove the Tectia Client installation from Windows. Follow one set of instructions below:

Using Windows Control Panel tools

From the Windows Start menu, open the Control Panel and click Programs and Features.
Select Tectia Client from the list of installed programs and click Uninstall.
Click Yes to confirm.

Using the Windows Installer

Locate the Windows Installer file ssh-tectia-client-<version>-windows-<platform>.msi, where:
- <version> shows the Tectia Client/Server release version and build number, for example 7.0.0.123.
- <platform> shows the platform architecture x86_64 for 64-bit Windows versions.
On some Windows versions the .msi file type is not shown for the installer file.
Double-click the installer file, and the Windows Installer will start.
Select Remove to start the uninstallation.
Click Finish when the removal has been completed.

Using Silent Command-line Tools

Tectia Client can also be removed silently by giving the following command:

msiexec /q /x ssh-tectia-client-<version>-windows-<platform>.msi

In the command, <version> is the version of Tectia Client to be removed (for example, 7.0.0.123), and <platform> shows the platform architecture (x86_64 for 64-bit Windows versions).
