Uninstall SAS 9.3 error reading native_unix_common.xml

[altf4]

 When trying to uninstall SAS 9.3 the native_unix_common.xml file does not exist in the location expected.  This is causing the uninstaller to roll back. Our production and test servers are both missing this file in that directory.  Has anyone seen this before?
