9 Uninstallation Specifics
Uninstallation of Application Manager, Media Composer, and Pro Tools on Windows and
Mac OS X is performed in the standard way. The step-by-step instruction can be found
below.
The situation looks different when it comes to uninstalling the Pro Tools plug-ins on
Mac OS X. The problem is that they do not have the uninstallation files on the operational
system, and the incorrect uninstallation of the plug-ins leads to leaving the product definition
file (read more about the product definition file in the Administrator’s Guide). If the product
definition file remains on your computer, Application Manager will not show the Pro Tools
update, even if you download a new version of it. Non-trivial actions should be taken to
remove the plug-ins correctly and delete the file.
