Today, on a clean build server, the VSF 5.0 install decided to hang at 50% for an hour. I decided to kill the install and bounce the server.
Coming back, I tried to re-install the software, no go. First you have to uninstall the existing software.
OK, tried that. Uninstall fails at 18% – file not found.
A repair maybe? Repair fails at 38% – file not found.
What’s a sys admin to do? Luckily there is a script called: VxCleanup.bat that lives in the toolsvpiCleanupScript 32 or 64.
The script will try to uninstall first, if that fails, ALL Veritas software, registry entries and folders will be removed. So that’s the bad news. Now you have to reinstall all your Veritas software…
