About the Installer Working Directory
The installer stores data about installation sessions in the installer working directory. Examples of this data are the list of components installed on your system, installation log messages, and registry data.
The default location for the installer working directory is %USERPROFILE%\.nbi on Windows and ~/.nbi on other platforms. The log subdirectory contains the installation log files.
Cleaning Up After Incomplete Installations
After incomplete or unsuccessful installations, you might need to clean up your system from previous installations.
To clean up the system:
- Delete the installer working directory.
- Delete the installation directories of the IDE and the Application Server.
- On the Windows platform, delete all nbi* registry entries from the following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
