Uninstall procedure

You can invoke the uninstall procedure using either GUI or the console method.

NoteIf the uninstall procedure is not created, refer to the section called “Missing uninstall components”.

Before uninstalling Sybase software, shut down all processes and applications that use the software or components that are going to be uninstalled.

StepsUninstalling in GUI mode

  1. From the command line, enter the following:

    • For SDK:

      $SYBASE/uninstall/SDK/uninstall
      
    • For Open Server:

      $SYBASE/uninstall/OpenServer/uninstall
      

    The InstallShield uninstaller Wizard Welcome window is displayed.

  2. Click Next to proceed to the Feature Selection window.

  3. Select the product or feature you want to remove.

    NoteYou will not be able to select certain features because they are required by other features. For example, the Open Client feature requires the English Language module, so you cannot select this module unless Open Client is also selected.

  4. Click Next to move to the Uninstall Summary window. If you are satisfied with your selections, click Next for InstallShield to remove the files associated with the products you selected.

    NoteYou may be prompted to decide whether to remove shared files. Sybase recommends not to remove them.

  5. When this is completed, click Finish to end the uninstall.

StepsUninstalling in console mode

  1. Go to the $SYBASE directory, and at the command prompt, enter the following:

    • For SDK:

      $SYBASE/uninstall/SDK/uninstall -is:javaconsole -console
      
    • For Open Server:

      $SYBASE/uninstall/OpenServer/uninstall -is:javaconsole -console
      

    The uninstall program starts.

  2. Choose the SDK or Open Server software product you want to uninstall and click OK.

    The SDK or Open Server software product you chose is uninstalled.
