To uninstall a DirectConnect installation, use the InstallShield uninstall feature. This removes all servers, all common files, and all required components. After the uninstall runs, you may need to delete a number of existing files and directories in the directory where DirectConnect was installed.
You may need to stop the SySAM service first; otherwise, you
will not be able to delete certain files and directories.
You can invoke the uninstall procedure using either the GUI or the console method. Sybase recommends that you use the GUI method.
Before uninstalling Sybase software, shut down all Sybase applications and processes. Log in to your machine using an account with “administrator” privileges, then shut down all other processes for the components you are uninstalling.
