How to uninstall a VC plugin?

[iamtez]

Hi,

I wanted to know if there was any way to uninstall a VC plugin? I know I can disable/enable the plugin but I would like to know if there is any way to uninstall it.

Thanks!!!

check your add/remove programs where you run the VIC from. Which one are your tying to uninstall?

Add/Remove programs should do the trick for the plugins, you can also go to the plugins menu and un-enable whichever one you want.

This is a custom plug-in that I have developed. I will check the Add/Remove Programs.

Hi,

I do not see my plug-in in the Add/Remove Programs to remove it. I am running the VC in WinXP (not sure if this would help).

Thanks

wherever you are running the VIC to manage your vCenter, check the add/remove programs there. You can also check your vCenter server.

This is a custom plugin, so me trying to guess where it is quite simply a guess.

I checked on the machine where the vCenter is installed and running but there is nothing in the Add/Remove programs to remove my plug-in.

Not sure if this has been answered yet but here is how I fixed my issue of plugins that did not show up in Add/Remove Programs

• In a web browser, navigate to http://<vcenter server name or IP>/mob
• Click Content
• Click ExtensionManager
• Select and copy the name of the plug-in you want to remove from the list of values under Properties.
• Click UnregisterExtension (A new window appears)
• Paste the name of the plug-in and click Invoke Method (This removes the plug-in)
• Close the window.
• Refresh the Managed Object Type:ManagedObjectReference:ExtensionManager window to verify if the plug-in is removed successfully.

Hope this Helps
