Client Uninstallation

To completely remove Tenable Patch from the environment or individual components, run the setup executable for the corresponding components and select the Uninstall option. Uninstallation must be bottom-up, starting with the clients, the workbench, and then the Tenable Patch Server instances.

Windows Full Installer

Run the tenable-patch-client-<version>-windows.exe and select the button to uninstall. To run the uninstallation silently, run the corresponding installation executable with a -uninstall switch on the command-line. For example:

tenable-patch-client-<version>-windows.exe -uninstall

Note: The <version> represents the version number, which changes with each build release.

Windows P2P Installer

The Peer-to-Peer (P2P) client MSI installer can also be used to perform a client uninstallation. You can run the P2P client MSI installer and select the uninstall button or you can run a silent uninstallation from the command-line with the -uninstall switch. For example:

Msiexec.exe /i tenable-patch-client-p2p-<version>-windows.msi /qn UNINSTALL=1

Linux

Open a command shell and run the following command:

sudo <package manager> remove tenable-patch-client

Note: Replace <package manager> with the appropriate command for your environment (e.g., apt or dnf.).

MacOS

Open a command shell and run the following command:

sudo /opt/tenable/patchclient/bin/uninstall
