Summary

This article discusses manual configuration changes you may need to make in order to fully uninstall the Laserfiche SharePoint Integration Web Parts from your SharePoint 2010 or SharePoint 2013 installation.

Uninstalling Laserfiche SharePoint Integration involves the following steps:

1. Remove any Laserfiche Web Parts from pages in your SharePoint site collection.
2. Use the Windows Programs and Features option to uninstall Laserfiche SharePoint Integration 8.2 for SharePoint 2010 or Laserfiche SharePoint Integration 9.1 for SharePoint 2013.
3. Make sure the web.config file for your SharePoint site no longer includes references to the Laserfiche Web Parts. See Workaround 1 if these references still exist.
4. Retract and delete the Laserfiche Web Part solution file from your SharePoint site. By default, the uninstallation process in step 2 should automatically do this action. You can also manually retract and delete the solution file if the uninstall process does not automatically retract the solution file. See workaround 2.

Workaround 1

When you use the Laserfiche Web Part Management utility to deploy the Laserfiche Web Parts, the utility makes a backup copy of the file named:

web_yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm_ss.bak

After you use the Windows Programs and Features option to uninstall the integration, do the following:

1. Browse to your SharePoint locations on disk. If you are using the default SharePoint 2010 installation, the file is located at "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80."
2. Rename the existing web.config file or create a copy of the file.
3. Replace the web.config file with the web_yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm_ss.bak backup copy.

Note: If you have made manual modifications to the web.config or if you have other integrations that have modified the file, you will have to manually check for differences and edit the web.config.

Workaround 2

Load an elevated command prompt and use the stsadm command-line tool to retract and delete the Laserfiche Web Part solution file.
