Issue #Description
SMPONP-12348
The 2.2 SDK uninstaller in silent mode does not check if Eclipse (in the SDK installation) is running or not.

The uninstaller requires all Sybase Unwired Platform-related processes are stopped. However, the uninstaller in silent mode cannot detect whether or not Eclipse is running.

Workaround: Verify that all Sybase Unwired Platform processes, including Eclipse, are stopped before running the uninstaller to uninstall the Sybase Mobile SDK.

CR-665409
The installation program cannot run in graphical mode.
If the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags registry key contains an entry that is the path of the installer binary (for example, C:\setup.exe), you see this error, and the installation fails:
The installer is unable to run in graphical mode. Try running the installer with the 
-console or -silent flag.

Workaround: Remove the installer binary path from the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags registry key.

CR-590885
Uninstaller might not run on Windows Vista.

Sometimes, the uninstaller does not launch on Windows Vista. This may be caused by the operating system changing the launch command for the Unwired Platform uninstaller, preventing it from using its own JVM to start itself.

Workaround: Launch the uninstaller:

<jdk_installdir>\java -Dtemp.dir=%TEMP% -jar C:\Sybase\UnwiredPlatform\Uninstallers\UnwiredPlatform\uninstall.jar

When you uninstall or cancel out of uninstalling Unwired Platform, the Program Compatibility Assistant shows:

This program might not have uninstalled correctly.

Select This program uninstalled correctly instead of Uninstall with recommended settings.
