How to delete program installed with .bundle?
Recently i install vmware 4.1 (which is bundle file). Now i want to remove it. How to do that?
VMware comes with a shell script named as .bundle
. With this script all applications bundled with VMware will be installed. Unless a package manager is called from this script (which isn't) it will be done without the help of a package manager. Therefore our package managers can not help uninstalling the software.
However the installer that comes with VMware (vmware-installer) should have an option to uninstall components:
vmware-installer -h
To display all options you have with this program. Whether this will work, and if really all packages can be removed by this I don't know.
An example of how to remove the vmware-player is given at the Ubuntu Community Wiki:
sudo vmware-installer -u vmware-player
Also given there is a long list of things to do for a manual uninstall in case this fails.
If you want to remove VMware completely, you can try this (First make sure the .bundle
file is executable.)
./VMware.bundle -u"vmware-workstation"
For making a file executable :
chmod +x /path/to/the/file
And, even without that - and from any directory (in modern times) you can run:
sudo vmware-installer -u vmware-workstation
And that will uninstall it.
