    Creo 2.0 can be uninstalled using following command

    C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\Creo 2.0\Parametric\bin\uninstall.exe –quiet

    See https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS127329

    You can try C:\Program Files\PTC\PTC Portmapper\bin\uninstall.exe –quiet

    Or you can contact PTC Support as last instance ...

    I am unsure as to why it was installed. It wasn't something I specifically installed must have came in with something else that was selected during our install.

    According to my knowledge, PTC Portmapper is necessary to install when user uses CADDS5 system. So uninstall it using Windows UI and never install again.

    I don't have the uninstall for the PTC Portmapper however I have used the following for other PTC components. I think it would be similar to the Parametric and Simulate removal commands:

    start /w "" "%UNINSTALLPATH%" -quiet

    Here is code from my Creo installer that removes the old stuff

     echo Starting removal of Creo Platform...>>%LOG%
     echo Starting removal of Creo Platform...
     start /w msiexec.exe /x "C:\ptc\Creo 2.0\Common Files\%OLDBUILD%\install\addon\creoagent_32_64.msi" /q
     rem sleep 5 seconds (5 pings at 1000 milliseconds per ping)
     ping 127.0.0.1 -n 5 -w 1000 > NUL
    

     echo Starting removal of Thumbnail Viewer...>>%LOG%
     echo Starting removal of Thumbnail Viewer...
     start /w msiexec.exe /x "C:\ptc\Creo 2.0\Common Files\%OLDBUILD%\install\addon\Thumbviewer_32_64.msi" /q
     rem sleep 5 seconds (5 pings at 1000 milliseconds per ping)
     ping 127.0.0.1 -n 5 -w 1000 > NUL

     rem sleep 5 seconds (5 pings at 1000 milliseconds per ping)
     ping 127.0.0.1 -n 5 -w 1000 > NUL

     rem sleep 5 seconds (5 pings at 1000 milliseconds per ping)
     ping 127.0.0.1 -n 5 -w 1000 > NUL

     rem sleep 5 seconds (5 pings at 1000 milliseconds per ping)
     ping 127.0.0.1 -n 5 -w 1000 > NUL
    

    

    (set PARAMETRICPATH=C:\ptc\Creo 2.0\Parametric\bin\uninstall.exe)
    

    (set SIMULATEPATH=C:\ptc\Creo 2.0\Simulate\bin\uninstall.exe)
    

    

     echo Starting removal of Creo Parametric...>>%LOG%
    

     echo Starting removal of Creo Parametric...
    

     start /w "" "%PARAMETRICPATH%" -quiet
    

     rem sleep 20 seconds (20 pings at 1000 milliseconds per ping) - required to prevent error
     ping 127.0.0.1 -n 20 -w 1000 > NUL
    


     echo Starting removal of Creo Simulate...>>%LOG%
     echo Starting removal of Creo Simulate...
     start /w "" "%SIMULATEPATH%" -quiet
     rem sleep 20 seconds (20 pings at 1000 milliseconds per ping)
     ping 127.0.0.1 -n 20 -w 1000 > NUL
