Google any issue on openfire and they're all posts from 2008 or before. Where's the support? Where's the FAQ/manual to address these issues.
Want to uninstall OpenFire and reinstall, well doesn't work. Uninstall wizard completes, reboot server, OpenFire folder still in Program Files. Openfire service still exists in Windows but is stopped. Can't delete the Openfire folder in Program Files....
