How to Uninstall Shibbolet 2.5 from Windows 10 and Windows Server 2012

  • 772

I'm attempting to uninstall shibboleth-sp-2.5.6.0-win64.msi from my Windows 10 PC.(I have the same problem on Windows Server 2012). It gets stuck with the following message:

Please wait while the Setup Wizard removes Shibboleth Service Provider.

Eventually, I have to use task manager to kill the process. I have tried rebooting the machine and attempted to uninstall it again but it never works.

Does anyone have any hints?

Also, being unable to uninstall means it prevents re-install.

windows iis shibboleth

  1. Is the Java JRE in your environment variables?- Shibboleth is a Java application and will likely rely on the JVM and Java run time environment to be installed and the JAVA_HOME environment variable set up, you should have something like:

    JAVA_HOME=C\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7

    and you can test from command line by running java -version
