M-Admin does not offer any assistant for sale to deinstall a product. This step must be executed manually. 1. Remove first all Unigraphics interfaces with the help of M-Admin 2. Edit the M-Quest environment file “mquest_win.env” and mark the corresponding variable as a comment 3. Remove the complete folder %MQ_BASE_DIR%\interface\ugraf 4. That’s all!

Information: M-Quest Suite does not create any Windows™ Registry entries. The definition is set in the M-Quest environment file. Variables which point directly to a product must therefore be indicated as a comment (do not delete them!).

Summary 1. If an Unigraphics installation is connected with M-Admin, this information stored in the Registry file “%MQ_HOST_REG_DIR%\\madmin.mqr” 2. If you liked to remove a M-Quest interface from Unigraphics , start M-Admin and mark the desired version 3. If the Unigraphics version is deactivated, then no interface is established or the interface was executed by another computer (see position 1) 4. With M-Admin only the files specified by M-Quest are modified and the Unigraphics installation is not removed at any time 5. With M-Admin you can remove several Unigraphics versions at the same time
