Uninstalling

Now you have succesfully installed everything as you can see on the screen below. From here you can do uninstall when needed.

If you wish to uninstall due to some fault, you can do so from the Control Panel and select 'Uninstall Programs'.

Uninstall in the ADempiere_Home folder only removes the ADempiere binary and its folders and contents but do not remove Java nor Postgres.

You have to delete the folder of the packages you uninstalled to ensure it is cleanly removed. Otherwise a reinstall won't guarantee to work.

Troubleshooting
If ADempiere cannot launch at all.

Go to the DOS prompt and cd to your adempiere_home to launch adempiere. I.e. D:/Adempiere/RUN_Adempiere.bat

Note the prompt lines to tell you what are the errors for your further action. (see FiG 1)

FIG 1 - Going to DOS prompt to run ADempiere

FIG 2- Running Setup from DOS prompt

FIG 4 - Click on the Server connection icon

FIG 5 - Try some settings and then Test

How To Upgrade To Latest Version

With ADempiere you can easily do that.

First you have to download the latest binary with data dump

Then you go and replace the binary in your home directory, and place the Adempiere.dmp in /data folder.

Then go to and run <ADempiere-Home>/RUN_Setup.bat or better still RUN_silentsetup.bat.

Then execute <ADempiere-Home>/utils/RUN_ImportAdempiere.bat

How Not To Overwrite Your Previous Version

Then do not run ImportAdempiere.bat but just run all the migration scripts since the last version.

How To Keep Updating to latest from Trunk

You run all the migration scripts from last release

You compile the latest trunk source and replace the newly compiled binary at <ADempiere-Home>

RUN_silentsetup.bat again

Upgrade

The installer development has moved to OSGi version.

There a constant new migration scripts upgrade installer is in development to handle any changes without the need to do it manually.
