I'm trying to uninstall an evaluation copy of Backup Exec 12.5 from a server running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP2.  I've tried uninstalling using the Add/Remove Programs control panel and by launching the BEWS 12.5 installer and using the 'Remove' option.  In both cases, the uninstallation fails and displays a dialog box saying:

Error 1606. Could not access network location\DLO

Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

The link below is when trying to install BEWS...you might want to make these changes to see if it works. Remember to backup your registry first:

Another way to try do this is to use the MSI Installer Cleanup utility as per this article:

Laters!

If you find this is a solution, please mark it as such.

Any updates about this case?

Hi Mark,

I get the same problem on a Windows 2008 SP2 x64 server.
Do you get a solution ?
