Product Description:

FCS Remover allows you to uninstall all Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Express or Final Cut Server components with the press of a button. Apple does not offer an uninstaller, making removing or downgrading to an earlier version very difficult. FCS Remover allows you to quickly and easily uninstall Final Cut Studio either permanently or in order to reinstall an earlier version. Version 1.0.7 features Final Cut Server support, and removes support files missed out in previous versions.

How is "Feature: Remembers last window positions." so useful that it had to be mentioned as a Feature, wow!

Seems like a good idea. - Version: 1.0.7, 11/17/2008 08:33AM PST

Considering how huge and messy FCS2 is (something in the order of 80+GB), a proper remove tool seems like a good idea. And removing/re-installing is pretty much necessary to try and figure out FCS issues, such as the crazy-glue-paperclips-and-scotch-tape solution that is Compressor (they just don't seem to be able to get that one right).

One feature I would like to see is a quiet/silent/automatic mode, perhaps by invoking the binary directly (eg: FCS Remover.app/Contents/MacOS/FCS Remover --silent), or setting a preference (which could be overridden by, say, running the program with the Option key down to get back the normal GUI mode) so that it could be incorporated into an automatic deployment kit, eg: use via Apple Remote Desktop.

Just a thought. But I do think I'll add FCS Remover to my bag of tricks.
