Hi,

I am trying to uninstall PostgreSQL 9.3 from a Windows 2012 server using the uninstall-postgresql.exe. During the uninstall, I get an error:

The uninstall-postgresql.dat file cannot be found and is required to uninstall the application, aborting. Uninstallation did not complete successfully.

The uninstall-postgresql.dat does exist in the install folder. Not sure what the dat file contains and if this file is corrupt on my system.

Questions:
1. Can someone give me info on the uninstall-postgresql.dat file and what it contains?
2. Is there anyway to get rid of this error message and still use the uninstall-postgresql.exe to uninstall the DB from the Windows system?

Thanks
