Hi
I have inadvertenty installed MQ 5.3 on a mapped drive (Share). However I have the domain problem too. So the install succeeded but the config failed. I was installing as a local admin but needed to be as a domain group member. Domain membership has now been done. I must now uninstall from the mapped drive but the uninstall process can't "see" the D:\ drive even though I can.
Any ideas? |

You could open up a command line, issue a net use on the shared drive, and then run the uninstaller command...
This should ensure that the drive is visible from the uninstaller program.
EDIT: changed link to point to v5.3

Try a manual uninstall:
Stop all MQ services
Delete directory (or rename to be safe)
Backup Registry
Edit Registry: Delete HKLM/SOFTWARE/IBM/MQSeries
Reinstall to local drive
Haven't done this myself, so be careful. |

Thanks, but no joy on that either. It kicks off an uninstall shield session in the gui and complains of the same problem. I have also tried using a response file and specifying the locations in their, but the same problem again. I wonder why the installer could see the mapped drive during install but not uninstall. |

Is it possible that the drive is mapped as a different user than is running the uninstaller?
If the uninstaller user doesn't have permisssions, then that's the problem.

That seems unlikely as, would you believe, the user id's and passwords for this local admin account are the same across both machines!

MachineA/Admin is a different user than MachineB/Admin
They have different SSIDs, and therefore the permissions are different.

How does one tell the difference - both are members of the Administrators group and I can map the drive in the first place using machine B's admin user and password? |

Well, when you map the drive you can specify the user and password.
But thinking about it again... if the drive was mapped the same way it is now for installation... then it should be fine for uninstallation.
I'd suggest the manual uninstall that KramJ pointed out.
You'll also probably have to delete the registry tree in HKLM/SYSTEM/CurentControlSet/Services/MQSeriesServices.
And restart the machine before you run the installer again.
