Remove LANSA Composer Version 4.0
This procedure applies if you are upgrading from LANSA Composer version 4.0. It does not apply if you are installing LANSA Composer Server.
The procedure to upgrade from version 4.0 treats Version 5.0 as a new installation, including specifying a new and different installation path for the LANSA Composer Version 5.0 software. This leaves the version 4.0 software on your system. Version 4.0 should now be removed.
There are two parts to removing the version 4.0 installation:
- Delete the LANSA Composer version 4.0 shortcuts. The program group and shortcuts for LANSA Composer version 4.0 are no longer required. You should delete the program group and any further shortcuts that you may have on the desktop or elsewhere.
- Delete the LANSA Composer version 4.0 installation directory.
The LANSA Composer version 4.0 software remains on your system in its original installation directory – for example: .
Refer to item 14 in Complete your Upgrade Plan. If you selected , then you should:

OR, if you selected , then you should:

(*) When deleting the version 4.0 installation directory, do so by simply deleting the files and/or directories as instructed. Do NOT attempt to uninstall it using the LANSA (Selective removal) tool.
In both cases, be very careful that it is the version 4.0 shortcuts or installation directory that you are removing.
