Uninstall on a Microsoft Windows system

If for some reason you wish to uninstall S-GEAR from your Windows system, there are two ways in which this can be done:

1. From the Windows Control Panel select Uninstall a program.  Select S-GEAR from the list of installed program, then click the Uninstall option.
2. Double click on the original S-GEAR setup file and follow instructions to remove S-GEAR.

The uninstall process will not remove your S-GEAR license or User Presets.

VST2 plug-in: If you followed the deafult intallation for VST2, then the S-Gear uninstaller will take care of this.  However, if you copied the S-Gear VST2 (S-Gear2_x64.dll) to a VST folder on your machine, you must then delete the old file manually.

• Open a Terminal window from the Utilities folder.
• Drag & drop the uninstall_sgear.sh script file to the terminal window to execute the script.
