The preferred method of uninstalling a Duet Enterprise solution is to use DuetConfig, as shown in the following procedure.

Note

You must be a member of the Farm Administrators group to complete these procedures.

To uninstall a Duet Enterprise solution by using DuetConfig

  1. Logon to any Web front-end server or application server in the SharePoint Server farm.

A feature with ID <ID number>has already been installed in this farm. Use the force attribute to explicitly re-install the feature.

If you receive this error, uninstall the earlier version of the solution by using the Stsadm -o uninstallfeature command, as shown in the following procedure, before you try to install the solution.
