NI-CAN User Manual

1.

Run the 

Add/Remove Programs

 applet from the 

Control Panel

A dialog box similar to the one in Figure A-2 appears. This dialog box 
lists the software available for removal.

Figure A-2.  

Add/Remove Programs Properties Dialog Box

2.

Select the NI-CAN software you want to remove, and click the 

Add/Remove

 button. The uninstall program runs and removes all 

folders, utilities, device drivers, DLLs, and registry entries associated 
with the NI-CAN software. Figure A-3 shows the results of a 
successful uninstallation.
