Uninstalling Insight on Windows

To uninstall Insight from a teacher or student computer, perform the following steps:
1. From the Start menu, click Run. Browse to the Teacher.msi/Student.msi program.
2. Double-click Teacher.msi/Student.msi.
3. In the Uninstall Insight dialog, click Yes to uninstall the program.
4. Reboot the computer to successfully delete all Insight files.
This is not performed by the usual Add-Remove Programs option on the Control Panel.
Because Insight is designed for a student lab environment, care must be taken to keep
students from uninstalling Insight.

To uninstall Insight from a student computer, perform the following steps:
1. Double-click on faronics_teacher.dmg/ faronics_student.dmg.
2. Double-click on Uninstall Insight.
3. Type in an administrative password.

Updating the Insight Teacher

To update Insight, run the Teacher.msi again. It automatically updates the files which are used. There is
no need to uninstall the old version before installing the new version.

Updating Insight Student Software

Insight can be updated on the student computers without re-installing manually on each one. To
execute the automated update task:
1. Begin by reinstalling the latest build of Insight onto the teacher machine.
2. Copy the Student.msi file to the C:\Program Files\Faronics\Insight folder on the teacher's
machine.
3. In the Insight console, select the students that need an upgrade.
4. Click Administer followed Update Insight on Selected Students menu option.
This takes a few seconds for every student selected. When it is done, select View, followed by the
Refresh menu item (F5) to see the newly installed version on the student computers.
By default, the Teacher.msi/Student.msi file is not copied to the C:\Program Files\Faronics\Insight
folder. Most schools do not want teachers updating student computer software. For these schools,
an administrator can copy the Teacher.msi/Student.msi file, perform the update and then remove the
Teacher.msi/Student.msi file.
If Deep Freeze is active on the student computers, it must be disabled during this update
procedure to allow the new software to be installed.
