12.1 Uninstall/Reinstall
12.1.1 Uninstall and Delete the Database
During installation, TransAct adds an Uninstall icon to your desktop.
If you want to clear the entire program from your system, double click the
Uninstall icon in the TransAct program group to delete all TransAct files
from the hard drive and remove changes made to your system files.
If you wish to delete the existing database (for example, to clear out the
fictitious customer accounts from the sample database), it is crucial that you
use Uninstall first before reinstalling the software.
Uninstall removes any changes you have made to the current database. For
example, if you selected the industry type Solid Waste in your current
program but now want to use General for an industry type, you must
uninstall TransAct prior to reinstalling the software for the new General
category tables to become active.
12.1.2 Uninstall and Preserve the Database
If you wish to preserve your existing customer database for use after you
have reinstalled the TransAct software, you must make a backup copy
before using Uninstall. To save database changes before uninstalling
TransAct, create a database backup using TransAct’s Backup Utility. Copy
the backup to a different location on your hard drive or to a floppy disk to
protect it from the Uninstall program. During the uninstall routine, the
Backup Utility screen allows you to do this.
