how to install clean BI/uninstall and reinstall BI with deleting all settings/clearing data.

[dholtz9]

Hello,
Is there a simple method to uninstall completely BI and be able to reinstall?
I know i found instructions in the past with editing bios or other tricks, non which were simple for me.

My issues are wide and variable that i think its time to start fresh. My issues most likely are network or camera related but I want to prove that first with a clean BI install and be able to setup cameras one at a time. If i uninstall now, all the settings/cameras pop back up again like nothing changed with the uninstall.

Thank you! Much appreciated help!

You can look here to see where the .reg file is being saved. then delete the .reg file(s). So BI doesn't have a reference file to configure the old settings on an install.
It's been a long time since I reinstalled BI, and it was wayyyy back in version 5.0.0
You could delete each cam from the console view, until the .reg file has no cams saved in it, then save that .reg file.......then Deactivate the license prior to an uninstall...

Here is what I did

1. Uninstall from control panel

2. Manually delete from following folders
C:\ There will be a Blue IRIS Folder
C:\Program Files\
C:\ProgramData (Hidden)

3. From registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ Delete - Perspective Software
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE Delete - Perspective Software
