Uninstalling IQ components

SilentUninstall.bat is the name of the script that you use to uninstall IQ components. How you run the uninstall depends on whether you are “Uninstalling all components” or “Uninstalling some components”.

Uninstalling all components

If you installed IQ with all defaults, you can run a typical silent uninstall directly from the installation directory. To run the uninstall, open a command window, and use the following command:

%SYBASE%\uninstall\IQ\SilentUninstall.bat

Uninstalling some components

To perform a custom uninstall, the command you use to run SilentUninstall.bat must include the –txt switch that points to the location of a modified SilentUninstall.txt:

%SYBASE%\uninstall\IQ\SilentUninstall.bat -txt <directory name>\ SilentUninstall.txt

Running silent uninstall scripts on Microsoft Vista

You must have sufficient user permissions to run applications in Microsoft Vista. If you do not have administrator privileges and want to run a silent uninstall, open a command prompt as an Administrator, then execute the silent uninstall from the command line.
