How Do I Uninstall GI2?

Use the installation utility that is provided with Genesys Interactive Insights (GI2) to uninstall the application. This wizard-driven utility removes the majority of files that are deployed during GI2 installation, and removes the application instance from the Microsoft Windows registry, however, it does not remove all traces of GI2, such as the GI2 universe or the GI2 reports. You can optionally perform additional manual steps to remove log files, objects, supporting applications and other data.

Uninstall GI2

The following two procedures describe how to uninstall GI2 from Windows or Unix:
