Answer:
To uninstall the MassTransit Web Client Plug-In, please follow these steps for the platform you are using. Microsoft Windows users can use the automated uninstallation application, which can be invoked from Add/Remove Programs on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, or, from Programs and Features on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. If the automated routine fails, these steps will manually remove the plug-in. Mac OS X does not have an automated uninstallation application.

- Quit the MassTransit Assistant application if it is running.
- If using Mozilla Firefox, navigate to its plug-in folder and delete
