Greetings all,
Because of performance issues on a few workstations, I decided to try to uninstall a workstation client, using the 'Add / Remove Programs' functionality of Windows. When I ran the uninstall, I received an error that the file 'unwise.exe' could not be found, and was prompted to enter an uninstall string.
I knew that unwise.exe is on the root directory of all of our workstations here (for some odd reason), so I figured the prompt wanted me to run unwise at C:\unwise.exe. I did so.
The uninstall began, but I saw that the uninstall was apparently making changes to the .ini file (and possibly other files) on our V: drive - which of course is our shared Vantage directory on the server. I immediately stopped the uninstall, not knowing why an uninstall would touch a network share, and all seems well. The only file that seems to have been modified in any way was this .ini file, so hopefully there was no other adverse actions taken.
Should unwise.exe not be run in this fashion? Does anyone know why it would change files on our network share?
Thanks,
Chuck Shrader

p.s. I called Epicor Support and asked for a document on how to uninstall a client, but Juan, my technical rep, stated that they do not have such a document.
