Question

How do I remove this stupid *&^$ Tasktop program from my ColdFusion Builder 2?

I do not need it, I do not want it, and somehow I accidentally installed it. I can find no uninstall button, it's not in my Vista Programs and Features to uninstall, and I"m tired of waiting for it during application load and getting in the way of my shortcuts and whatnot. I just want it gone but I can find no reference anywhere to take this stupid program out.

I've had no insight to offer on this, but I've been watching this thread intently.

I've been using CFB since before it was even first released, and I have no idea what this "TaskTop" thing is that you're talking about. I've always installed CFB as a standalone thing... is it a vagary of the plug-on install? Is it anything to do with CFB at all?

It's an Eclipse Plugin similar to Mylyn. It's supposed to be pretty awesome.

That said. I have had to reinstall CFB a couple of times for various reason, and it has never taken longer than an hour (including config). Just sayin', it seems that would certainly be easier than fighting with a messed-up plugin install for 2 days.

You have to remove it from inside CF Builder. Launch CF Builder, click on "Install New Software" on the Help menu. Once the Install dialog comes up, look for a blue link on the right side, in the lower third of the dialog, that reads "What is already installed?". Click the link, and another dialog opens. Select the add-ons you want to uninstall, then click the Uninstall button.

This applies to CF Builder 2.0.1. If you have not updated CF Builder 2 to the latest, the dialogs may be different.

Carl,

Thank you - that's closer than I've gotten so far.

UNFORTUNATELY, when I click on Tasktop - even when I drill down into it as much as possible - the "uninstall" button refuses to light. In fact, not a single item will light either the uninstall or update buttons.

Rights issue, perhaps? But I am an Administrator on my system...

I never did create a Tasktop account. I wanted it gone from the moment I saw it pop up in my system.

RLS,

Here is the link to the uninstall section of the Tasktop User Guide: http://help.tasktop.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.tasktop.help.ui/userguide/install-e35.html

It's another way of getting to the same dialog I mentioned before. However, if selecting the Tasktop item doesn't enable the Uninstall button, I'm not sure what else you can do.

Something else you can try from the same dialog. Go to the "Installation History" tab. Browse the history items to see when you installed Tasktop. You can revert back to a previous configuration (prior to Tasktop installation). If you added features after you installed Tasktop, you will have to reinstall those features.

HTH,
