Uninstalling

The uninstaller allows you to remove some or all of the Sybase Developer Edition server features from the installation directory.

Prerequisites 

Before beginning the uninstallation process, Sybase recommends that you:


  • Shut down all Sybase products.
  • Move any log, database, or user-created files that you want to keep from the installation directory to another location.
    Note: You do not need to save or move your project resource files. By default, all project files are automatically saved to the following directory:

    C:\Documents and Settings\<your log in name>\workspace

  1. Start the InstallShield wizard.

    • From the Windows Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs .
    • Select Sybase Developer Edition Servers, and click Change > Remove .

    The UninstallShield Welcome window appears.

  2. To initiate the uninstallation process, click Next in the Installer Welcome window.
  3. Select the components that you want to remove, and click Next.
  4. Review the list of components to be removed, and click Uninstall to remove the selected components.

    A status bar appears recording the progress of the uninstall.

    Note: If you receive this error message during uninstallation, you can disregard it.

    %SYBASE&\Uninstaller\EAServer refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location.

  5. When this message appears, click Finish to complete the uninstall:

    The InstallShield Wizard has successfully uninstalled Sybase Developer Edition Servers.

Next 

After the uninstallation is complete, the following directories remain:


Review the log files once the uninstallation process is complete. You can manually delete these files or move them to another directory.

The uninstallation process does not remove the Sybase Central component as other Sybase products may be registered to this plug-in installation.

The uninstallation process does not remove user-created projects.

Note: If you attempt to delete the installation directory and receive a message from the operating system that states that the files are too long, move the directory to the root of your local directory and then delete it.
