Uninstalling Apps on Windows
To uninstall Hiero or Hiero on Windows, there are a few things you need to do:
1. | Navigate to Start > All Programs > The Foundry > Hiero12.2v9 and select Uninstall. |
The Hiero Uninstall dialog displays.
2. | Click Yes to uninstall. |
3. | Delete, rename, or move your .nuke or .hiero directories, if they exist. |
The .nuke and .hiero directories are usually found under the directory pointed to by the HOME environment variable. If this variable is not set (which is common), the directories are under the directory specified by the USERPROFILE environment variable, which is generally one of the following:
drive letter:\Documents and Settings\login name\
drive letter:\Users\login name\
To find out if the HOME and USERPROFILE environment variables are set and where they are pointing at, enter %HOME% or %USERPROFILE% into the address bar in Windows Explorer. If the environment variable is set, the folder it’s pointing at is opened. If it’s not set, you get an error.
4. | Delete, rename, or move your cached files, which reside in the following directory by default: |
~\AppData\Local\Temp\nuke\
Where ~ is equal to %HOME% or %USERPROFILE% as detailed above.
Note: If you specified an alternate directory using the NUKE_TEMP_DIR environment variable, purge those files as well as the default location. See Environment Variables in the Nuke Online Help for more information.
