Troubleshooting
Problem
When cancelling an installation or uninstalling an IBM Rational Team Product using the IBM Installation Manager, all files and directories are not removed from the installation directory. The undeleted files prevent a reinstallation of the Rational Team product.
Symptom
You install a Rational Team Product using Installation Manager. You receive the following error in the Installation Directory panel:
The installation directory <installdir> exists and contains files. Use an empty directory or delete all files in the current directory.
where <installdir> is the installation directory.
