OpenAFS Client Download and Automated Installer
Uninstall previous versions
To use this installer you must insure that any previous OpenAFS Client has been uninstalled:
Primary method:
- From the Start Menu>Programs>OpenAFS choose Uninstall
- When the uninstall procedure is completed you will be prompted to restart the computer
- Once the computer has restarted be sure that:
- You have deleted the AFSCache in the \\Windows\Temp folder (remember that this is a system file, you may need to set “View Hidden System Files”)
- You delete the C:\Program Files\OpenAFS folder and subfolders
An
alternate method would be to use the Control Panel
Add and Remove Programs feature. If prompted, do not save any AFS Client settings.
