Recently I was trying to upgrade my developer toolkit from WCS 7.0.0.2 to
7.2.0.0 level and while upgrading I ran into an issue, I then decided to uninstall the base WCS toolkit and start
all over again, but the Installer Manager won't let me uninstall older version of toolkit
I ran into the error in the screenshot below.
I finally figured out following steps to uninstall older version of toolkit, hope this helps others if you run into similar issues.
Go to C:\IBM\WCDE_ENT70\bin>
disableFeature.bat -DfeatureName=foundation
disableFeature.bat -DfeatureName=management-center
disableFeature.bat -DfeatureName=store-enhancements
disableFeature.bat -DfeatureName=content-version
Logging is generated at following location, validate this file to examing if disable feature ran
successfully C:\IBM\WCDE_ENT70\logs\disableFeature.log

If you are still not able to uninstall toolkit, you can try rollback action from IBM Installation Manager, just select the package
and try to do a rollback.
If none of the above option works, go with good old method of SHIFT + DEL:) and start fresh.
