• Unicenter NSM agents fail after performing the install over a corrupted install or uninstall.

1. Unicenter NSM Files and Folders that can be deleted:
   
   
   1. Remove the CA_APPSW folder

   2. Delete CA Registry Key
      
      Note: If other CA products are installed removing the registry key will cause all CA applications to stop functioning. If you are not sure if other CA products are installed, do not remove this registry key(s).
      
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates
      
      
   3. Registry Key if NSM products exist in Add/Remove Programs
      
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
