Uninstalling Alias for Windows
 
 
 

To uninstall Alias 2010 and its components, follow the process below.

Uninstalling Alias removes the Alias directory and its subdirectories, and possibly the Com directory and its subdirectories if they are not used by other products. It also removes Alias keys and values from the Windows Registry.

The uninstall program also tells you which Alias files or directories it cannot remove. It does not remove any user’s home Alias directory (or subdirectories) or other user-created files. For example, uninstalling does not remove any directories or files at or below C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Autodesk\Alias. These directories are not removed because it is likely that the user wants to keep many of the files.

The uninstall program lets you view files that it cannot delete. You can delete them manually by dragging them to the Recycle Bin.

To remove (uninstall) Alias components

  1. From the Windows Control Panel, double-click Add or Remove Programs.
  2. Choose Autodesk Alias 2010 and click Remove.

    A Confirm File Deletion windows appears asking you if you want to completely remove the Alias software and all its components.

    Choose Yes.

    The Setup Status window may pause at 100% for a few minutes. Do not click Cancel. Due to the size of the software, removing it may take a few more minutes.

NoteThis process does not automatically remove Autodesk DirectConnect 2010 or Autodesk Alias 2010 Documentation. You must uninstall these components separately in the same manner.
