Now directly go to Step b. below.

a.ii. If you have downloaded a fix level prior to 7.0.4.35 from gskit download site, then you will have file such as gsk7bas.exe and transfer the file over to Windows system. Keep these files in a new folder (e.g.: c:\Temp\gsk704.28\).
    Open a command window as Administrator.

Now directly go to Step b. below.

a.ii. If you have downloaded a fix level prior to 7.0.4.35 from gskit download site, then you will have file such as gsk7bas.exe and transfer the file over to a 32 bit Windows 2003 (or lesser ) system. Keep these files in a new folder (e.g.: c:\Temp\gsk704.28\).
    Open a command window as Administrator.
    C:\temp\gsk704.28> dir
    Volume in drive C has no label.
    Volume Serial Number is 8805-603D

    Directory of C:\temp\gsk704.28

    1 File(s) 5,949,741 bytes

    Important Note: To install 32 bit GSKit on a 64 bit Windows server, the package, gsk7bas.exe must be first unpacked/extracted on an 32 bit Windows 2003 (or lesser OS). This is because the package, gsk7bas.exe is a 16-bit package and 64 bit Windows does not have the 16-bit subsystem. Packages downloaded from Fix central contains the unpacked files. Hence the step below is not applicable for packages downloaded from Fix central. If the gsk7bas.exe gets run on a 64 bit Windows server the following error is shown:

    Extract the exe file (note the dot/period in the command below which denotes current working directory as the folder to extract the package):

a. Stop Tivoli Directory Server related services/processes (ibmdiradm and ibmslapd) and any other services/processes such as TAM related processes which use gskit.

b. Find the UninstallExe and REGAPPS:
    Open a command window as Administrator
    C:\> reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\IBM\GSK7\CurrentVersion /s

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\IBM\GSK7\CurrentVersion
    Version REG_SZ 7.0.4.41
    InstallPath REG_SZ C:\Program Files (x86)\ibm\gsk7
    LibPath REG_SZ C:\Program Files (x86)\ibm\gsk7\lib
    BinPath REG_SZ C:\Program Files (x86)\ibm\gsk7\bin

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\IBM\GSK7\CurrentVersion\REGAPPS
    LDAP REG_SZ Registered

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\IBM\GSK7\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
    UninstallFile REG_SZ C:\Program Files (x86)\ibm\gsk7\gsk7BUI.isu
    UninstallExe REG_SZ C:\WINDOWS\gsk7BUI.exe


c. Uninstall using one of the methods below:
    1. Using the same command window as administrator:

      Syntax: <UninstallExe> <RegisteredApp>

      In current case:
      C:\> C:\WINDOWS\gsk7BUI.exe LDAP

      Notes:
      The Registered App is "LDAP" in this case from the output of b.
      If you have more than one RegisteredApp then repeat the command below one at a time:
      C:\WINDOWS\gsk7BUI.exe <RegisteredApp>
    2. In some old fix levels of GSKit v7 the following procedure works.

      Syntax: <UninstallExe> -f <UninstallFile>

      In current case:
      C:\> C:\WINDOWS\gsk7BUI.exe -f "C:\Program Files (x86)\ibm\gsk7\gsk7BUI.isu"
    3. Manual Uninstall/Removal of GSKit: (Use this only if both the above mentioned methods fail)
      - Delete the "InstallPath" folder:
      C:\> rmdir /S /Q "C:\Program Files (x86)\ibm\gsk7"

      - Delete the registry:
      C:\> reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\IBM\GSK7
      Permanently delete the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\IBM\GSK7 (Yes/No)? Yes
      The operation completed successfully.

d. Verify the Registry and Folders:
    C:\> reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\IBM\GSK7\CurrentVersion /s
