Unregister an Alchemy Compatibility Package for a User

When you need to unregister the user components of a Cloudhouse Alchemy Compatibility Package for a specific user, you can use the --unregister command-line option to do so. This option removes all of the shortcuts and file associations for that user.

Note: Your source Compatibility Package is not modified when it is unregistered. Any files in use that cannot be deleted at the time the unregister is performed are flagged for deletion at the next reboot. After the reboot, Windows removes these files along with the registry configuration.

Unregister a Compatibility Package for a User

To unregister a Compatibility Package for a user:

  1. Start a Command Prompt.

  2. Run the following command: <path_to_package>\Cloudhouse.Container.Deployment.Exe /register

    Where <path_to_package> is the path to the source Compatibility Package you want to register.

    For example: C:\Packages\ERP-v2\Cloudhouse.Container.Deployment.Exe /register.

What Happens During an Unregistration?

When a Compatibility Package is unregistered for a user, the following occur:

  • Any file associates specified in FileAssociations.xml are removed from the HKCU registry hive.

  • Any shortcuts specified in Shortcuts.xml are removed for the current user on the machine.
