How to uninstall

I use the add/remove program, but when I reinstall it was if the software was never removed?

I am having a hell on hell day tring to get it work with esxi 5.5
I go to as far as install windows iSCSI and that works fine on first try.

storage:
nic0=192.168.5.251 255.255.255.0 192.168.5.1
nic1=192.168.6.1 255.255.255.0 no-gateway
nic2=192.168.7.1 255.255.255.0 no-gateway

esxi:
nic0=192.168.5.253 255.255.255.0 192.168.5.1
nic1=192.168.6.2 255.255.255.0 no-gateway
nic2=192.168.7.2 255.255.255.0 no-gateway

on the storage if I enabled Microsoft iSCSI it works fine.
if I install starwind v8 create a device(advance) every thing seem to be ok on the storage, but on the esxi server it can't find the device

You need to disable Windows built-in iSCSI or make StarWind use port different from default 3260 or both apps will figth for the ability to bind to the same local port 3260.
That's why you create devices with StarWind and connect with ESXi to *Windows* built-in target where you have no devices created. Plain simple...

I was having the problem long before I installed windows iscsi, I thought it was a VMware problem, so I install windows iscsi to test that it can work with esxi 5.5 and it did no now I am not seeing why starwind iscsi v8 is not working.
I tested v8 in a virtual lab with windows 2012 r2 & hyper-v 2012 r2, it was simple, and easy and it works.

I can ping all ip's form each box.

how do I uninstall and remove all evident that it was on the system, so when I reinstall it will be like a fresh install, after I reinstall it, it did not ask for a lic file.

I down' what to reinstall the os to remove it.

Wow, hold on a second!
1.Version 8 is on beta stage now, so there is no wonder that something can go wrong. Nevertheless I can assure you that we have configured v8 with ESX successfully, so as a lot of our beta testing program particiants, so the thing that you faced should be caused by some misconfiguration.
2.What device typer are you using?
3.Is it possible for you to completelly remove MS iSCSI target and continue testing SW? We will obviously assist you in configuration.
4.Can you confirm that SW is not blocked by any firewall or antivirus?
5.Have you tried to add the datastore into the ESX (yes, it may sound stupid, but I still want to doublechek)
6.Can you drop us some screenshots that would illustrate that SW is refusing to be presented into the ESX inventory?

Thank you
