I have no known issue (well, not yet) uninstalling the Guardian (which
is automatic by the way). I assume your setup script does not attempt to
do things as :

instsvc remove -g

That was pre-RC6 syntax to remove the guardian. This does not exists
anymore with RC6. A single unique :

instsvc remove

will remove whatever is installed (Guardian + Server or Server only
depending on what is actually installed).

Before calling "instsvc remove", services *must* be stopped, through
"instsvc stop" for instance, which will stop both services.
