Uninstall procedure

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

Before uninstalling Sybase software, shut down all Sybase applications and processes. Log in to your machine using an account with “administrator” privileges, then shut down all other processes for the components you are uninstalling.

Uninstalling in GUI mode

From the Start menu, select Settings | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs.
Select the product or feature you want to remove.
Click Change/Remove to remove the software.

An alternative is to enter the following at the command line:

For SDK:
```
%SYBASE%\uninstall\SDK\uninstall.exe
```
For Open Server:
```
%SYBASE%\uninstall\OpenServer\uninstall.exe
```
The InstallShield Uninstall Wizard Welcome window is displayed.
Click Next to proceed to the Feature Selection window.
Select the product or feature you want to remove.

You 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 this module cannot be selected unless Open Client is also selected.
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.

You may be prompted to decide whether to remove shared files. Sybase recommends not to remove them.
When this is completed, click Finish to end the uninstall.

Uninstalling in console mode

Go to the %SYBASE% directory, and at the DOS window prompt, enter the following:

For SDK:
```
%SYBASE%\uninstall\SDK\uninstall.exe 
-is:javaconsole
```
For Open Server:
```
%SYBASE%\uninstall\OpenServer\uninstall.exe 
-is:javaconsole
```
The uninstall program starts.
Choose the SDK or Open Server software you want to uninstall and click OK.

The SDK or Open Server software you chose is uninstalled.
