System Cleanup
After removing Softimage DS from your system, there are some leftover
folders and registry entries that you should remove before installing
Avid|DS 5.0. But before you do that, we highly recommend that you clean
your system first.
To clean your system
1. Go to the C:\Program Files folder. If the Softimage DS folder is present,
verify its contents for EDLs, OMFs, bitmaps, or anything you may have
saved there.
2. Move these items to a more appropriate location.
3. When you're finished, delete the Softimage DS folder.
4. Go to the F:\Program Files\Common Files folder. If the Softimage DS
folder is present, verify its contents again for important files, move them,
and then delete it.
5. At the root of the F: partition (F:\), verify if you have important presets
and script files in both the DSPresets and DSScripts folders. If so, back up
these files and then both folders.
6. On the Avid|DS Drivers CD, browse to the \utils\cleanreg\batch folder and
run the cleanreg.bat file to delete the remaining Softimage DS registry keys.
