Feb 19, 2018 - HASP SRM Run-time Environment installed omitted. Newer version already installed. You will have to repeat the operation replacing.
One of the (many) things I absolutely hate is when, during the installation of a program, a ton of other crap is silently installed beside it without any warning or indications. I just noticed a new service, “hasplms.exe”, running. I have no idea where it came from or what installed it. I did give a spin yesterday (not impressed), as well as my lengthy ordeal attempting to install Tomb Raider Anniversary which I complained about in my last post, maybe one of them install it but I dunno. With no idea where it came from, and no uninstaller to be found, I turned to the Internet.
It didn’t take long to find a illustrating the uninstall process, and it was surprisingly pain-free. From (which redirects to ) download the command line run-time installer and run it as haspdinst.exe -purge And it looks like the service’s gone, without me having to rage and fume about yet another bit of computer BS. Now I just have to see if anything breaks.Update 2013/10/18. A few comments have prompted me to provide slightly more explicit instructions, with pictures. Anywhere you see my name (Andrew), expect instead to see your name (or whatever the name of the account you are using is). First, downloading the software: Open the Downloads folder, or wherever you saved the file to, and right click on the downloaded file.
Click on “Extract All”. A window will open, asking where you want to extract the files from. Remove the highlighted part. This is the path we want the downloaded files extracted to. Again, if your name’s not Andrew, that part of the path will be different.
Returning to the window that was showing us the Downloads folder, you’ll see the newly created folder. Ensure that the “haspdinst” program was properly extracted, if you must.
Now you must open a “Command Prompt”. You can do this in various ways, but for now just use the Start Menu. Your command prompt window may not look exactly like this; I use it fairly frequently, and so have resized and customized it to suit my uses.
Also, be aware that I run Windows with UAC permanently disabled. I don’t know if UAC will interfere with this process.
If it does, you’ll have to look in to running the command prompt with elevated privileges. This next part may look like gibberish, but there’s only three commands that really need to be run (they are underlined in pink in the picture). Obviously, is the enter/return key. Cd Downloads cd SentinelLDKRun-timecmdline haspdinst.exe -purge A small window should pop up, asking you to wait. This will uninstall the software. Hopefully this clears things up a bit. Starting the command-prompt can be achieved by a variety of means.
I chose to use the Accessories Start Menu entry because it is common to all modern Windows versions back to XP, and the typical computer user generally prefers the point-and-click method whenever possible. The ‘dir’ commands show what one can expect to find within the respective directories; their intended goal was to (poorly) illustrate the concept of directory traversal from the command-line. I probably should have omitted it, but I prefer that people understand what is occurring, rather than just cut ‘n pasting a bunch of commands without really knowing what is going on. Use of the command-prompt is a dying skill, sadly.
I keep meaning to write a post to provide an easy introduction to it, to demystify it, but never seem to get around to it. If the dir command is not listing any files in your current working directory, then you are not “within” the correct directory. If directory navigation is confusing, I would suggest attempting to move the haspdinst.exe program to the root of your drive (that’s C: ) via Windows Explorer. I am unsure if UAC will complain about creating a file in the root of the drive. Once you have the program at C: haspdinst.exe, start the Command Prompt and try: cd haspdinst.exe -purge I probably should have simplified the instructions by suggesting this from the beginning. If the process completes successfully, you can delete C: haspdinst.exe. You must run it with the ‘-purge’ argument, which double clicking doesn’t do.
Open a Command Prompt (Start Menu-All Programs-Accessories-Command Prompt). A window will open with a line that says something like “C: Users (USERNAME)”. Assuming you saved the run-time installer in the Downloads directory, you should be able to execute it with the commands “cd Downloads” and “haspdinst.exe -purge”. If you don’t know how to work a command prompt, try using Google – there’s plenty of sites with tutorials.EDIT. I just went back to check the process again, and realized the installer comes in a zip file. I am in the process of updating this post with pictures to illustrate the process.
