Can't install or uninstall

Bob...

So...I couldn't do the Desperation Move...install 9.0 & uninstall, as it wouldn't let me install the program as "it already exists" (I believe it said)...so I was told to uninstall the current version then try install again.

If only I could!

The code:  As I am new to this, it took me a while to research & find I needed to put quotes around the first line, in order to avoid a -bash: syntax error near unexpected 'newline' message.

However, once I placed the quotes, it dropped down to a line with simply a > symbol displayed (I took this as a good sign).

But after the second command line, I received an -bash: !DOCTYPE: event not found message.

(It seemed you added the text in blue after sending the original message...is this true?)

 At any rate, I Copy & Past'd both & typed both, separate & together, with and without quotes, just to be sure: no go.

It does seem strange to me that the unload & remove didn't work in Terminal, so I tried again.

The launchctl list | grep -i sophos command DID result in a com.sophos.uiserver message (not positive it said .plist as well, however).

I again tried the launchctl remove com.sophos.uiserver command, & it just went to the next line.

It didn't ask me to verify the remove or not (though I think I read that is what the -i is for in the code, to verify a remove command with a y or yes response).

Since it didn't kick back an error message of any kind, I was hoping that was it.

I simply Quit out of Terminal & Re-started.

Didn't do a thing.

I just now tried the same launchctl list | grep -i sophos command in Terminal & was given a launchctl remove error: No such process response.

It DIDN'T, this time, first produce the com.sophos.uiserver message as it had previously done when I tried before.

This was the same as the other times I have tried both unload & remove.

I will Re-start & try again.

So...what do you think?
