You didn't mention any errors or specific issues.

Here is a generic uninstall procedure: http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/en/flarehelp/npm/content/npm-uninstalling-npm-sw1446.htm

This is a general uninstall procedure, and it may differ slightly from version to version.

SolarWinds recommends to use this procedure when installing daily builds for testing.

Click Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
Click Remove for all items starting with SolarWinds, and complete the uninstall wizard.
Start the Registry Editor, and delete SolarWinds-specific folders.
1. Click > Start > Run...
2. Type regedit, and click OK.
3. Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software.
4. Delete both the SolarWinds and the SolarWinds.net folders.If you are uninstalling SolarWinds NPM from a 64-bit computer, expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Wow6432Node, and delete both the SolarWinds and the SolarWinds.net folders.
Delete the following SolarWinds-specific folders, listed with the default paths.
- C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SolarWinds

Thanks for your prompt response d09h, I did some of your instructions before and also some folders wont delete.

When I start installation, the yellow starting installation window pops up and then disappeared....that's it! nothing happens after and nothing is installed.

I am thinking if this is windows 2012 thing......the last one I used was 2003 server...this is really new interface and a few new features for me.....

still at it.....

I think it would be helpful to post any error messages you can find.

nazzetti

None!!! no error message......installation starting window just goes away and that's it...

nazzetti

Sure, I did download a fresh copy but no joy.

You uninstall Node.js and NPM the same as you would most Windows software:

Open the Windows Control Panel
Choose the “Programs and Features” option
Click the “Uninstall a program” option
Select Node.js, and click the Uninstall link.

Now, here is what is going on....when the installation start extracting files into the temp folder, I see it populate the folder with installation files and when the installation stops all the files disappeared!! I tried to copy some files and installed NPM, but I get an error while trying to run NPM configuration wizard....

* No valid package combination was found for your system

I believe this is because I copied the installation files manually....how do I fix this?
