Uninstall procedures

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

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

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 Open Server:

    $SYBASE/uninstall/OpenServer/uninstall
    

    For SDK:

    $SYBASE/uninstall/SDK/uninstall
    

    The InstallShield uninstaller Wizard Welcome Panel is displayed.

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

  3. 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 you cannot select this module unless Open Client is also selected.

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

    NoteIf you are prompted to remove shared files, Sybase recommends that you do not remove them.

StepsUninstalling in console mode

  1. To uninstall the products in console mode, go to the $SYBASE directory, and at the command prompt, enter the following:

    For SDK:

    $SYBASE/SDK/uninstall -console
    

    For Open Server:

    $SYBASE/OpenServer/uninstall -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.
