installed appears.
Procedure

To uninstall IBM MQ Explorer with the provided
uninstaller, go to the installation directory and then go in the directory named '_IBM MQ

If you need to get back to a clean system because you want to reinstall IBM MQ Explorer after uninstalling it by deleting the files rather by

the following steps:
-
Locate and edit the file .com.zerog.registry.xml.
The .com.zerog.registry.xml file is found either in the

name="IBM MQ Explorer ' or '<product name="IBM WebSphere MQ Explorer '
and ends with the next </product> tag. Save the file.
