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.
