Would like to clean uninstall SMP to start with a fresh installation.

If an attempt to uninstall using SIM & Windows Control Panel and failed,

then retry using the following steps.

 SIM uninstall give error "the folder path 'program files' contains an invalid character"

 1. You can use MSIZAP.exe to uninstall all the Altiris msi.

e.g. MsiZap.exe TWA D:\Program Files\Altiris\Symantec Installation Manager\Installs\Altiris\altiris_console_7_1_sp2_x64.msi

you can use the attached batch file " Altiris.Uninstall.bat" to remove all installed MSIs.

.

2. Delete all RegKeys Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altiris

. 

3. Access the registry entry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services"

& delete all Altiris related services (all names are according to the executable file that service points to.)
