If you installed using the command-line installation package, run the uninstall.bat script from the installation folder. For example, to uninstall a default installation of BIRT iHub and its associated components, such as System Console and Visualization Platform, and PostgreSQL RDBMS, perform the following tasks, as shown in Listing 2‑5:
Open a command prompt
Navigate to the installation folder
Check the contents of the modules folder
Run uninstall -list to view the letter codes for the installed modules
Run uninstall for each module, using the corresponding option letter as an argument
The uninstall program unregisters the modules from the operating system and shuts down the specified BIRT iHub services. After the process completes, delete the BIRT iHub module from the file system. Listing 2‑5 shows the uninstallation process for System Console.
