InstallShield includes an uninstall feature that removes the Sybase components you have installed.
WARNING! Do not install Replication Server version 12.6 on top of the following Sybase products:
Replication Server version 12.5 or earlier
Adaptive Server version 12.5.0.x or earlier
Open Client/Server version 12.5.0 or earlier
OpenSwitch version 12.5 or earlier
DirectConnect version 12.5 or earlier
Doing so incapacitates older versions of these products, and can also adversely affect other Sybase products.
You cannot reverse this with an uninstallation, as this could remove required components of the older Sybase products updated by Replication Server version 12.6. For this reason, Sybase recommends that you back up your current directory before installing Replication Server version 12.6.
You can invoke the uninstall procedure using either GUI or console methods. Sybase recommends that you use the GUI method.
Before uninstalling Sybase software, log on to your machine using an account with administrator privileges. Then shut down Replication Server and all other processes for the components you are uninstalling.
InstallShield 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.
Also, InstallShield does not remove installed or _jvmrep.
