Uninstalling Replication Manager

InstallShield includes an uninstall feature that removes the Sybase Replication Manager you have installed.

You can invoke the uninstall procedure using either GUI or console methods. Sybase recommends that you use the GUI method.

Before uninstalling the Replication Manager, log on to your machine using an account with administrator privileges. Then shut down all other processes for the components you are uninstalling.

NoteInstallShield removes only those files that were loaded from the installation media. Some Sybase files, such as log and configuration files, are left intact for administrative purposes.
