Hello,

I wanted to ask a question: when you install a package on your PC (e.g., ti-ilovepdf) and then want to uninstall it, how do you do it with Wapt?
Installation is fine, but what if you no longer want it?

Awaiting your reply, I wish you a pleasant day.

Hello,

To uninstall a package, you can create a conflict on the desired machines, as explained in the documentation: https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/wapt-console ... ed-package

Have a great day!

Best regards,

Ingrid

Thank you very much for your reply.

May I ask another question?
In Wapt, I create a group of 5 PCs and install their software.
But later, I want to remove it from just one PC in the group. Is that possible?

Thank you for your help.

Hello Catherine,

if the machine is online, you can also force the uninstallation directly (after removing the package from the machine's package list, otherwise the machine will try to reinstall it shortly after) by selecting the machine, then the package in the machine's package list, and right-clicking -> "uninstall selected package".

Regards,

Denis

Hello,

thank you very much for your reply.
Indeed, when I put it in conflict mode, it uninstalls it.
However, I have a small problem.
My PC is removed from the group,
and when I remove the software from the conflict, it reinstalls it even though the PC is no longer in the group.

Why?
Shouldn't it see that it's no longer there, so there's no need to install it again?

Hello Catherine,

Listing the conflicting package will indeed trigger an uninstallation, but a reinstallation might occur due to the following reasons:
- the package is still a dependency on the machine
- a "group" or "organizational unit" package contains this software.

Click on the package in question and check its dependencies.

Have a good day.

Yes, it's in the profile: In this profile, it says it installs software from the PCs that are in it. But when I remove the PC from this group, it reinstalls itself again.
on the PC that was removed. If the PC is no longer there, it shouldn't install it
That's what I don't understand
