    That'll do it properly.

    It's a perl script. (Text)

    So run it from a term silly.

    They expect (rightfully so) that you should be a developer if you're going to install the developer tools.



    Any developer worth half a pence should recognize and know how to run a perl script.

    Since no one told you how to run it (), you need to type:



    sudo perl /Developer/Tools/uninstall-devtools.pl



    in the terminal. Enter your admin password.
