Remove custom adapters after uninstalling the WCF LOB Adapter SDK

If you have developed any custom adapters using the WCF LOB Adapter SDK, and you have registered these adapters on your computer, you must also complete the following procedure.

1. Remove the custom adapter from the global assembly cache (GAC).

   1. Open a Visual Studio command prompt.

   2. Remove the custom adapter .dll from the GAC using command gacutil /u.

2. Remove the references to the custom adapter binding from machine.config

   1. Go to the machine.config file under <system drive>:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<version>\CONFIG.

   2. Open the file by using a text editor.

   3. Search for the element bindingExtensions, client and bindingElementExtensions under system.serviceModel\extensions.

   4. Remove the WCF binding that pertains to your custom adapter.

Do a silent installation

A silent installation is ideal for test scenarios or as part of a large-scale enterprise deployment. WCF LOB Adapter SDK provides command line parameters that you can use with AdapterFramework.msi to perform a silent installation.

1. Open a command prompt as administrator.

2. Type the following:

   AdapterFramework.msi /quiet MUOPTIN=”Yes”  
   

   Use the following command line options in conjunction with AdapterFramework.msi:

   • Use /quiet to install WCF LOB Adapter SDK silently.

   • Use MUOPTIN=”Yes”|”No” to indicate if the WCF LOB Adapter SDK should check for updates with Microsoft Update.

     When set to Yes, WCF LOB Adapter SDK checks for updates through Microsoft Update. When set to no WCF LOB Adapter SDK does not check for updates with Microsoft Update.
