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.
Select Start | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs.
Select the product you want to remove.
Click Change/Remove to remove the software.
Or, to uninstall from the command line, enter this command for SDK:
%SYBASE%\sybuninstall\SDKSuite\uninstall.exe
Or this one for Open Server:
%SYBASE%\sybuninstall\OpenServerSuite\uninstall.exe
The Uninstall wizard window appears.
Click Next.
The Uninstall Options window appears.
Select any of these options:
Complete Uninstall – completely remove all features and components of SDK or Open Server. The files and folders created after the installation are not affected.
Uninstall Specific Features – uninstall specific features of SDK or Open Server.
If you select this option, the Choose Product Features window appears and you can select the features to uninstall.
Click Next. The Uninstall Complete window appears, listing the items that cannot be removed.
If there are no other products installed in the directory
and it contains files that were not installed by the installer,
a window appears asking if you want to delete these files.
Click Done.
Go to the %SYBASE% directory, and at the DOS window prompt, enter one of the following commands.
For SDK:
%SYBASE%\sybuninstall\SDKSuite\uninstall.exe -i console
For Open Server:
%SYBASE%\sybuninstall\OpenServerSuite\uninstall.exe -i console
The uninstall program starts.
The flow of the uninstall program is identical to a regular GUI uninstall, except that the display is written to a terminal window and responses are entered using the keyboard. Follow the remaining prompts to uninstall either the Software Developer’s Kit or Open Server software.
