Repairing a Corrupted Universal Agent for SOA Installation

The installation program has the ability to recover accidentally deleted application files, configuration and component definition files, or registry entries required by Universal Agent for SOA. This repair feature will re-install the missing items, making a complete re-install unnecessary.

During a repair, any options stored in configuration and component definition files are preserved. If a configuration or component definition file was deleted, the installation will create a new file with default values.

To repair an installation, perform the following steps:
 

Step 1

On the Windows Control Panel, select Programs and Features. The Programs and Features dialog displays.
 

Step 2

From the list of installed programs, select Stonebranch Universal Agent for SOA and click the Change button to start Windows Installer. The Welcome dialog displays.
 

Step 3

Click the Next> button. The Program Maintenance dialog displays.
 

Step 4

Click the Repair radio button, and then the Next> button, to display the Ready to Repair the Program dialog.
 

Step 5

Click the Install button to repair the installation.

Un-Installed Files

The uninstall process will remove only those files created during the installation. Some files stored under the .\Universal install directory by Universal Agent for SOA, such as trace files, may be left behind after the uninstall. In this situation, simply delete the uninstalled files and/or directories.

Before deleting the entire .\Universal directory, make sure it does not contain application files for any other installed Stonebranch, Inc. product. (See Universal Agent for SOA for Windows - File Inventory Lists for a list of files and directories installed with Universal Agent for SOA.)
