Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Cause: Uninstalling a client that was reinstalling the --force option results in some files not being restored. Consequence: Uninstalling the client does not return it to its original state. Fix: The --force option was able to re-install over an already installed system causing the original saved files to be lost. Result: You can no longer re-install over an installed client with the --force option. You have to uninstall and re-install.
