Re-installation

Clean IJC re-installation

If you need for any reason a clean slate with IJC, a clean re-installation can be performed. It is a quite simple process.

  • Locate your IJC User Directory - its location can be found in the "About Instant JChem" dialog, which is accessible in IJC's Help menu.
  • Shut down your IJC and perform an uninstallation normally, according to your operating system.
  • Delete your IJC User Directory - the directory itself is named 14.9.1.0 , but the complete path will differ depending on your operating system.

    {info}
    Mac OS X : /Users//Library/Application Support/instantjchem/14.9.1.0

    {info}
    Windows : C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\.instantjchem\14.9.1.0

  • Download desired IJC version installer from the web, if not already downloaded.
  • Install IJC normally.

Please note that your data will be intact as IJC Projects are stored in a different folder. After the clean re-install, IJC will not remember your last opened projects, so you have to open them again.
