1. Make a backup copy of the SRS program files directory. In Windows Server 32-bit, the default location is **C:\Program Files\Pharos\SecureRelease** In Windows Server 64-bit, the default location is **C:\Program Files (x86)\Pharos\SecureRelease**
2. Make a backup copy of the SRS data directory (JobStore). In Windows Server 2003, the default location is **C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\PharosSystems\SecureRelease** In Windows Server 2008 and 2012, the default location is **C:\ProgramData\PharosSystems\SecureRelease**
3. Stop the Windows Service named Pharos Systems Secure Release Service
4. Locate PharosSecureRelease.msi in the Pharos "bin" directory. In Windows Server 32-bit, the default location is **C:\Program Files\Pharos\bin** In Windows Server 64-bit, the default location is **C:\Program Files (x86)\Pharos\bin**
5. Right-click on PharosSecureRelease.msi, then choose Uninstall
6. Open a Windows Command Prompt (as Administrator)
