Special Uninstall and Reinstall Instructions

Note: If you have the Mac beta installed, please see this article for instructions:  Reinstalling or Uninstalling Logos Bible Software for Mac.

Follow these steps to uninstall and reinstall Libronix when an update has failed or a reinstallation is producing errors. Following these steps will uninstall the software, but not your licenses, books, or user documents.

1. Uninstall 

1. Go to My Computer (Computer in Vista) and then navigate to C:\Program Files\Libronix DLS\System.
2. Double-click on the file PurgeLDLS.bat (the ".bat" may not show on your system).
3. You can also find this file online if it is not on your computer: ftp.logos.com/pub/tech/purgeldls.bat [HTTP]  (Save it to your desktop and then double-click on it to run.)
4. Follow the prompts to uninstall. 
5. If you are prompted to restart the computer during this process, click No, and allow the purge to complete. Then reboot prior to going to step 2 (delete system folders). You will not have to restart the computer again before reinstalling.
6. If a message comes up that says, "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed," click OK each time it appears. This message occurs because the purge process tries to remove every Libronix component, including those that may not have been installed yet.

2. Delete system folders

With the System window still open, click back to navigate to the C:\Program Files\Libronix DLS folder. Delete the Common, Inbound and System folders (leave Resources in place, as it contains your book files).

3. Reinstall

Restart your computer, turn off firewall and anti-virus software, then reinstall the software by inserting the installation disc in the CD/DVD-ROM Drive. If your installation disc does not include the latest version of the software, or you do not have a disc with you, you can download and install the latest version of Libronix from our website: http://www.logos.com/support/downloads/ldls/newuser. Follow steps 1 and 2 on that page.
