| Q: |

Uninstallation
| Q: |
When I select the uninstall option, the uninstaller prompted me whether I want to remove shared component. Should I? |

To retain the shared component, you may select either <No> or <No to All>. If you select <No>, the system will retain that particular shared file. The prompting will then be repeated for each shared file encountered. If you select <No to All>, the system will retain all remaining shared files and no more prompts pertaining to the shared files will be displayed. |
