The installation checker is no longer available for download.

You can check that 3CX Phone System has been completely uninstalled by using the 3CX Installation Checker Tool. The tool will provide information about any traces of 3CX files that could still be on the system. Traces can remain on the system for numerous reasons - Example: a log file was kept open during un-installation and the 3CX Application data folder remains there.

The installation checker is embedded in the 3CX Phone System installation and can be triggered upon request at the end of a 3CX Uninstall. It is recommended that this check is performed after each installation to ensure that your machine is clean and prepared for the next 3CX Installation upgrade.

Download the 3CX Installation Checker.
