The initial installation of the Cisco Desktop Administrator is successfully completed. However, when you uninstall the Cisco Desktop Administrator, and try to reinstall it, you encounter this problem.

Complete these steps in order to remove the Cisco Desktop Administrator completely:

  1. Remove Desktop Administrator.

  2. Remove Desktop Servers.

  3. Run Add/Remove for the Desktop Base (see Figure 2).
