Introduction:
The BarcoSystemCleaner utility is designed to completely uninstall Barco software components and remove any residual files and configuration settings. Typically, during a software upgrade, the Barco software package master installer manages updates automatically. However, there may be instances (wrong resolution, display not recognized, Barco Productivity tools not usable, Barco MedSelf Exam missing, etc) where a full removal of software components and settings is required, and the BarcoSystemCleaner utility will ensure a thorough cleanup.
N.B.: There is a possibility to remove all Barco software components with BarcoSystemCleaner, except QAWeb (this will be shown below, see 3a).
Guide:
1) The Barco System Cleaner tool is automatically installed together with the MXRT Driver installation package. Once installed, the tool is located in C:\Program Files\Barco
2) Run as administrator (Right click) the Barco_System_Cleaner program.
If you want to continue, please confirm with y or Y
3a) To keep QAWeb (QAWeb will not be uninstalled during the clean-up), enter n or N at "Do you wish to continue?"
N.B: If QAWeb should be uninstalled as well, please jump to step 3b) below
By selecting "n", the program will close.
Please open as administrator (Right Click) a new command window as follows:
In Windows the Command window:
- Browse to the directory of C:\Program Files\Barco\

And confirm with y or Y
3b) If all Barco components including QAWeb should be removed, please confirm below question with y or Y
4) All Barco software packages are removed. Windows will restart for the first time.
5) Once the workstation has restarted, a second restart is required to complete the uninstallation process.
6) After the second restart, the MXRT display controller is not recognized anymore, the MXRT drivers have been deleted, the C:\Program Files\Barco folder is also not present anymore and the Windows resolution is set to a standard value.
7) From now on, the system is clean and can be reinstalled with the MXRT driver installation package.
Other Options
-keepQAWeb: This option will ensure that QAWeb will not be uninstalled. You will need to reinstall your graphics driver after cleaning has been completed to have the full functionality of QAWeb.
-nowarn: This option will skip all warning messages and cleaning will be complete without further user interaction. (Note: User login interaction will still need to be initiated during the cleaning process when rebooted unless the operating system is set to log the User automatically).
-removeusagedata: This option will remove usage data from AppData (by default this information is kept).
