 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?

Hope you are following the steps in the KB in order to remove SAS 9.3 - http://support.sas.com/kb/46/922.html

Would advise to raise a SAS Support track by sending email to - support@sas.com along with the errors encountered for faster resolution.
