-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

When you perform a silent uninstall to remove an application using the Systems
Management Server Installer, shared .dll files are not removed. The shared .dll
files, which are listed in the Install.log, are not removed because the
Uninstall.exe program defaults to "no to all," which you cannot change for a
silent uninstall.
