Install the HP Database Manager
The HP Database Manager is installed with a Windows installer. You can install the client by
itself or as part of a bundle of Neoview clients provided by the Neoview Windows Client Package.
Information about the installers can be found on the HP Software Depot web site. Instructions
for installing the software are contained in the README for the HP Database Manager (HPDM).
See
“Resources on the Web” (page 17) .

Uninstall the HP Database Manager
After HP Database Manager is installed, you can uninstall it by using the Uninstall feature in
the Start > All Programs > HP Database Manager menu or use the Control Panel, Add and
Remove Programs feature. Note these considerations for uninstalling:
• Normally, you do not have to uninstall the client before installing a new client application.
When upgrading from an older version to a newer version, HPDM overwrites the files for
the older version. When downgrading from a newer version to an older version of HPDM,
HP recommends that you uninstall the current version before installing the down-rev version.
• Uninstalling does not remove favorites or system definitions. However, uninstalling and
then installing a down-rev client can remove the system definitions.
• If you uninstall from the Start menu, a prompt asks if you want to repair or remove the HP
Database Manager. Selecting Repair is non-destructive and simply verifies the program
files. Selecting Remove begins the uninstall process.
