Or, you can uninstall by using the EndNote installation program:

  1. Log in to the machine with administrative rights or as a user with program installation privileges.

  2. From your EndNote CD, run Setup.exe.

  3. On the Application Maintenance dialog, select Remove, and then click Next.

  4. Click Next again to begin removing EndNote.

The uninstall procedure removes only files, groups, and icons installed by the EndNote installer the last time it was run. For example, if you used the installer’s Custom installation option to reinstall only style files, the Uninstall program removes only style files.
