How to uninstall empower® using the empower® Removal Tool? (PC)

The empower® Removal Tool removes all components that have been installed or added with empower®.

The empower® Removal Tool can be used to remove empower® completely and should be used in troubleshooting scenarios where a simple uninstall using Windows - Installed Apps option hasn't worked.

What it does
  • All installer and uninstaller information is removed from the Windows Registry and the Windows Package Cache and all program installation folders are removed.

  • The add-ins are removed and the integration is removed from Microsoft, start menus and auto-start entries.

  • All user-specific file-based caches, configurations and log files of empower® are removed.

  • All product-specific entries in the registry hive are removed, this includes all entries under HKLM as well as all user hives and entries located under HKU.DEFAULT.

  • All COM class registrations for the add-in entry point are removed.

How to use it
  • Close all Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel PowerPoint and Outlook).

  • Make sure you have admin permissions on the device.

  • Download the empower® Removal Tool by clicking HERE.

To run the tool, follow the following steps:
  • Download the tool from the linked source above and extract the .zip folder. The unzipped folder contains the file empowerRemovalTool.CLI.exe.

  • Double-click on the file empowerRemovalTool.CLI.exe.

  • The tool will then remove empower® from your device.

  • When the tool has finished the process, it produces a return code:
    • 0 = The removal has been successful.
    • 7 = Office is still running. The removal could not be executed.
    • 9 = An unexpected error occurred.
