3.18 Enabling a Bundle to Be Uninstalled

When you create a bundle, the Undo Install action is enabled by default; however, the Uninstall Action Set is not enabled. Therefore, in order for any actions in the action set to run (including the Undo Install action), you must enable the action set.

  1. In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Bundles tab.

  2. In the Bundles list, click the bundle’s underlined link in the Name column to display its Summary page.

  3. Click the Actions tab, then click the Uninstall tab.

  4. Click Options to display the Uninstall Options dialog box.

  5. Select the Enable Uninstall option. The following uninstall options are available only if Enable Uninstall option is selected:

    User Options:

    Specify whether the user should be allowed to uninstall or cancel the uninstallation of an application from a device:

    Allow User to perform uninstall: Select this option to enable users to remove the application from their devices.

    Display message to the user before uninstalling the application: Select this option to specify that a message warning the user that the application is going to be uninstalled from the device is displayed.

    Allow user to cancel the uninstallation of the application: Select this option to specify whether the user can cancel the uninstallation of the application. You can enable this option only if the Display message to the user before uninstalling the application option is enabled.

    Other Options:

    Specify additional options to enable the uninstallation of the application from the device:

    Uninstall application if not used within _days: Select this option to automatically remove the application if the user has not run it within the specified number of days (the default is 30).

    Ignore Chained Dependencies: Select this option to enable the uninstallation of a dependent application that is referenced by two or more applications. For example, consider three applications (A, B, and C), where C is the dependent application. Assume application A installs application C, and application B uninstalls application C. Application C is uninstalled only if Ignore Chained Dependencies is selected.

    Do not uninstall application on unassignment: Select this option to prevent the application from being uninstalled after it is unassigned from the device or user.

  6. Click OK, then click Apply.
