Uninstalling specific component

Should you need uninstall only one component,(for example, RD Session Host Agent):

In case RD Session Host Agent is unreachable:

1. Open services.msc
2. Find the service you want to uninstall (RAS RD Session Host Agent) , right click on it > Properties

3. Take note of the path and name of the executable, for example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\ApplicationServer\2XAgent.exe"

   

4. Open Command Prompt and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\ApplicationServer\

5. Run the command in Command Prompt in the path above:

   2XAgent.exe -u
   

   

This will uninstall the service.
