Additional Instructions:

Before installing the attached MSI you must first remove the previous installation. If you do not do this, then it will leave your registry in an unstable state, as regards to this product, and you may not be able to remove it without an additional tool such as MSIZAP or other registry cleaner.

• Symantec_ASDK_DS_COM_x64.msi
• Symantec_ASDK_DS_Server_x64.msi
• Symantec_ASDK_DS_Docs_x64.msi

These names may not be exactly as above but you should be able to find those files in the normal installation location:

Once this is done, then the update to the DS ASDK component should be complete.
