UnInstall Configuration Service Provider

  • Article

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 Smartphone transactioning model.

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, see Security Roles.

Note This Configuration Service Provider is not available on Windows Mobile-based Pocket PC.
