UnInstall Configuration Service Provider

Send Feedback

This Configuration Service Provider uninstalls applications from the device. A provisioning document that contains XML to uninstall an application should contain only that XML and no other provisioning information. Following this practice is the cleanest way to uninstall an application under the transactioning model for Windows Mobile Version 5.0 software for Smartphones.

Note   This Configuration Service Provider can be managed over the OMA Client Provisioning (formerly WAP) and the OMA DM protocols. However, over the OMA DM protocol, you can only query applications that are installed on the device; you cannot uninstall an application.

Note   Access to this Configuration Service Provider is determined by Security roles. Because OEMs and Mobile Operators can selectively disallow access, ask them about the availability of this Configuration Service Provider. For more information about roles, see Security Roles and Default Roles for Configuration Service Providers.

Note   The LocURI for accessing the Uninstall root node is case sensitive.
