Cannot uninstall from Control Panel Programs and Features.

Post by davparker » Thu Nov 06, 2014 11:17 am

The SoftEther VPN Client will not all me to uninstall it from Control Panel Programs and Features.
I get the error:
"The setup program has been executed from outside an install source. Unable to continue the installation."

How can I get rid of it?

Thanks,
David

At first, please delete virtual NIC adapter.

You can uninstall the VPN client service by this command.
"vpnclient.exe /uninstall"

Finally, please delete folder which the VPN client is installed.

The command thisjun is referring to "vpnclient.exe /uninstall" is a command that you execute using Windows command prompt.

Start > Run > "cmd.exe" (without quotes)

Then you navigate via command prompt to where you have installed SoftEther VPN client, by default it would be in Program Files > SoftEther VPN Client

"cd \Program Files\SoftEther VPN Client"

A successful navigation via command prompt to that directory would show a difference on the command prompt line

"X:\:" > "X:\Program Files\SoftEther VPN Client>"

With successful navigation to the right directory you then execute the command

"vpnclient.exe /uninstall"
