Uninstalling the Conversion Tool
This guide will discuss how to uninstall the EMTS Conversion Tool (ECT). If a version of the Conversion
Tool is already installed, the user must uninstall the existing version of the Tool before installing a new
version.
Prior to installing the new version it is recommended that the user save a backup of the current version. If
the ECT fails to completely uninstall, the new install will fail. Reinstalling the saved version, and then
uninstalling again, will often fix this.
Please note that the user must completely exit the ECT application before attempting to uninstall the tool.
If the user has not completely exited the tool (i.e., if there are still processing screens up), the tool will not
completely uninstall even though the tool no longer appears in the "Add or Remove Programs" panel. In
order to correct this, the user must re-install the version that was being used and uninstall it properly, as
noted in the previous paragraph.
Uninstalling the ECT
To begin uninstalling an existing version of the ECT, the user should access the "My Computer" link
available on the Start Menu (see Figure 1).
