How to perform an uninstall of PowerChute Personal Edition when the original disk image is no longer available on Mac OS X 10.2.x
It will be necessary for the customer to download the most current version of the install image. You may do so from http://www.apc.com/tools/download and select PowerChute Personal Edition 1.3.2
When downloading the file please note where the file is saved to. Once the file has been downloaded it is necessary to mount the installation image to their system.
You may then double click on the mounted volume to view the contents of the installation image. Within the image the customer should see an uninstall script. The customer may then just double click the icon to run the script or they may execute the script by extracting it to a local directory. You also have the option to run the script by clicking and dragging the script to an open terminal window.
It is important to note that the uninstaller needs to be run by an Admin user. If the customer does not have the proper rights they will get an error when running the script.
Once the script is initiated and completed they will get a message in the terminal window saying that “PowerChute Personal Edition has been uninstalled.” If they dragged and dropped the file into a terminal window the window may just close.
It is then safe to unmount the installation image and delete it.
Now if you need to download the files you can go direct download page. And you don’t need to have a login. Also if you need to install PowerChute Personal Edition Mac OS Personal edition or business access to the ftp server connect to:
ftp://ftp.apcc.com/apc/public/software/macintosh/osx/
with your favorite ftp client. I like Cyberduck for the MacOS because its free and open source, also you can use Filezilla, I just prefer Cyberduck because Filezilla has drop support for Mac OS 10.4 and I still use 10.4 and I will not upgrade untill 10.6. The only thing I miss is Bento for Filemaker and backup from 10.5 other than that 10.4 is still good for me.

Thanks. This advice worked for me. Too bad they don’t update PowerChute to be compatible with more of the UPS’s they sell.

Okay, I need some serious help. I used MacKeeper to remove the files on PowerChute. Now there is no way to find in in finder or anything, but when i turn on my Mac a pop-up comes on the screen saying that PowerChute is running but cannot detect any UPC’s. Can someone please tell me how to get this off!
Thanks
