Thanks, after a more thorough search of the registry for everything with the string "monet" fixed the problem. It wasn't fast and easy though, but I could reinstall, with the update, to the new location. By the way, the Windows batch was surprisingly hard to edit to make use the right folder (specified path) for the dbfarm, I often ended back somewhere under C:/AppData even though now both the installation and the intended path were on Q:/. In any case, this seems to be fixed now. Thanks! Laszlo On Thu, May 22, 2014 at 12:21 PM, László Sándor wrote:

Update: a reboot did not help either. Do I need to edit the registry? How? Or what else do I need to do?

To be clear: I would be very happy if a new install would simply overwrite the old settings and dlls etc. However, the installer offers only to repair or remove…

Hi, With today's Jan2014-SP2 update, I wanted to uninstall and reinstall using the .msi files in Windows Server 2012. (I also wanted to change the install locations, as I have no access to the default location on C to change the bat files and edit where my dbfarm should be.)

Maybe because I ran MonetDB5-SQL-Installer-x86_64-20140514.msi before MonetDB-ODBC-Installer-x86_64-20140514.msi, but now the ODBC remove fails, repairing also. A desperate deletion of the entire C:/Program Files/MonetDB, did not make things better, maybe it made worse.

Could you let me know how I could proceed with uninstalling the ODBC driver? I do want to have a clean, stable reinstall (under the new location) which I can trust.

Thanks!
