  2. Depending on your Windows security settings, you may get a security warning as "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?". If you get this security warning, click the Yes button to confirm that you want to uninstall the add-on.

  3. The HaloCAD installer first scans the current user session for any supported CAD applications running in the background. If it detects any, it displays a notification prompting you to close those applications before continuing with the uninstallation.
