The following directories remain after you uninstall Netscape Application Server: Netscape Application Server root directory Any custom directories you created under the NAS directory APPS directory Some Netscape Application Server files remain in the installation directory after uninstalling. These files are marked by your machine's operating system for deletion and are removed when you reboot your machine. You must reboot immediately after you uninstall Netscape Application Server. If you do not reboot the machine after uninstalling Netscape Application Server and if you install Netscape Application Server immediately, you might receive missing file messages such as 'Cannot find gxutil.dll', 'Cannot find itgc222c.dll', and so on.

To prevent this behavior, reboot after uninstall and before re-installing the product. We recommend cleaning up the Netscape Application Server path after you uninstall.
