There are three methods for removing Prosoft Engineering's NetWare Client for Mac OS 5.14. You may use any one of these methods. They are ordered by complexity.
  1. The NetWare Remover application
  2. The uninstall option of the MacIPX 5.14 Client Installer application
  3. Removing the individual components manually
Before proceeding, you should unmount any volumes and logout from eDirectory (NetWare client menu > Log Out Completely)

Remove Printers and Storage aliases

Before removing the client, you should remove any references to network resources that require the client. This includes any aliases to directories or volumes that you might have, or any desktop printers that you have defined that represent a network printer.

For desktop printers, you will need to select another printer as the default printer before Mac OS will let you delete the desktop printer icon.

  1. NetWare Remover

    When the client was initially installed, a directory called NetWare Client Utilities was created. Within this directory is an application called NetWare Remover.

    NetWare Client Utilities directory

    Double-click on the NetWare Remover application to start it.

    Click on the Remove button to proceed. As the dialog indicates, the client components will be removed and placed into the Trash. Restart to finish the client removal process.

  2. Uninstall option of the Installer application

    Double-click the NW Client 5.14 Installer application to start it. Continue past the initial splash screen, release notes, license agreement and registration screens.

    The main option on the main install screen is Easy Install. Click on the drop down menu and select the Uninstall option.

    Uninstall option in Installer

    Press Uninstall to remove the client.

  3. Manually removing the client files

    If you do not have the uninstall application or the install application, you can remove the client manually by removing all of it's component files.

    The client software consists of 7 or 8 items in the System Folder. Preference files have no impact after the client is removed, so their removal is not part of these instructions. You can delete them at any time after the client has been removed.

    Remove the MacIPX control panel

    The MacIPX control panel provides the IPX protocol to the operating system. It is mainly used by the NetWare client, however some applications may use it for connectivity as well.

    The MacIPX Ethernet extension is a plug-in for the MacIPX control panel that is used to direct IPX over an Ethernet network interface.
