Uninstallation Guide
Unfortunately, the uninstaller for Genesis II versions prior to 1.x was not maintained appropriate and so it turns out to be much better to simply do the uninstall by hand. For versions after 1.x starting with 2.0.0 the uninstaller that ships with Genesis II is capable of performing the complete uninstall without this manual intervention. This guide will give you the steps that you need to perform in order to do an uninstall of a Genesis II 1.x system. If you have any problems please contact the UVaCSE for help at uvacse@virginia.edu.
