BankID Security Software Enterprise

Installing, updating and uninstalling

Installation

Administrator privileges are required to install the BankID Security Application. A shortcut to the application is placed in the common user program folder in the start menu and on the desktop. The binary is named BankID.exe and resides in %PROGRAMFILES%\BankID.

The first time a user logs in; a user specific folder will be created under %APPDATA%\BankID.

Updating

If an older version is installed, the installer will update to the latest one. It is not possible to downgrade to an earlier version. In that case the installed version must be manually uninstalled before the older version can be installed.

When updating, the older version is unstalled first, then the newer version is installed. If all files cannot be removed during uninstallation it may be necessary to reboot. In this case the information is stored in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\ to ensure that the update continues after reboot.

So called ”Minor Upgrades” should work with the MSI package. When running into problems with “Minor updates”, there is a possible workaround by setting REINSTALL to ALL and REINSTALLMODE to vomus.

Uninstallation

The easiest way to uninstall the BankID program is through the operating system’s dedicated software management tool, e.g. Settings - Apps in Windows 10.

The information saved under %APPDATA%\BankID will be left after uninstallation since this makes updating easier. This information also includes any BankID on file that the user has collected.

Some settings are stored in %APPDATA%\BankID\Config. The file BispPersistent should normally not be deleted manually. If this file is deleted, any BankID on file that the user may have in the computer will stop working.

There is a tool available for manual complete uninstallation (user controlled), which can be used in the event that the normal uninstallation fails.

The tool is available here
