Try running swremove interactively - then drilling down in the selections for the software...

Anything of interest in /var/adm/sw/swagentd.log ???

sorry, i guess i have posted in wrong forum, but this problem is on Solaris. When I install OVO on Solaris, swinstall/remove commands also get installed. There is no support for GUI, so cannot use interactive mode. :-(

The error means that you can remove the software from the depot of unistall it ( remove from root ).

So, you can run first:
swremove -d SPI-OSUX-OVO
and then
swremove SPI-OSUX-OVO

So you erase the SPI-OSUX-OVO installed and the SPI-OSUX-OVO in the depot.
