How do I get rid of "Trusted Drive Manager"?

Question

We have a project that creates and edits pdfs on the file system. When we fire a tfs build, it deletes the generated pdfs in the folder (and we need them to stay). Is there a way to tell the build to exclude deleting the pdf's that are in the folder every time we do a deployment?

Solution 1

The tool to use to "force" .msi's to be uninstalled is msizap, but use extreme caution with this tool and only as a last resort.

Look in Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features and see if "Dell Data Protection Access Drivers" is something you can uninstall. You may need to uninstall this first before uninstalling Trusted Drive Manager - and also you may have better luck trying to uninstall all the Dell stuff there if you don't use it.

Solution 2

You must uninitalize the drive before uninstalling. Removing the software will not unlock the drive. IF you have already uninstalled it and it wasn't uninitalied, go to the drivers page from dell, for that model laptop and reinstall. It will have retained the passwords for all user.
