How Do I Uninstall 3DxWinCore

Post by Relayer1956 »

I installed 3DxWare 10 and then uninstalled it. However, it has left behind the 3DxWinCore version 17.2.8.11657.

I am running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and there are no 3Dconnexion applications listed in the Program and Features portion of control panel.

How do I uninstall this?

Hello Relayer1956,

this usually does not happen. I can only imagine that you had installed the 3DxWinCore package separately. I could imagine that you could get rid of it by doing this again and the uninstall it again (before you install the whole package). Make sure you are doing this with the exact same version as you did before: 3DxWinCore 17.2.8 r11657.

This is one possibility how to do it:
  • To get to the msi file for 3DxWinCore you have to unzip the whole installer of 3DxWare64_v10-2-8_r2007.exe. (Iam assuming that you have a 64bit Windows.)
  • Install 7-zip if you haven't yet.
  • Right click the file 3DxWare64_v10-2-8_r2007.exe and select 7-Zip -> Extract here. You will get a file 3DxWare64.exe.
  • Right click the file 3DxWare64.exe and select 7-Zip -> Extract to "3DxWare64\". You will get a folder named 3DxWare64.
  • In this folder go to "components64 -> 3DxWinCore". There you find the file 3DxWinCore64.msi.
  • Install this msi file.
  • Then uninstall 3DxWinCore 17.2.8 from "Programs and Features" in the Windows Control panel.
Can you now install the latest version?
