failed to unistall studio 10
Trying to install SunStudio 12 on Solaris 10 SPARC. First supposedly removed SunStudio10 with
cd /var/sadm/prod/com.sun.studio_10
java uninstall_Sun_Studio_Software
appeared to run successfully.
but now when I try to run the installer for 12, it tells me that the IDE component of Studio 10 is still installed.
Not sure how to proceed from here.
Thanks.

The easiest way would be to download Sun Studio 12 in tar form and just unpack it to desired directory. However, you won't be able to install patches, but as far as I know, Sun Studio updates will be available in .tar form as well.
As for the IDE left installed, you can probably try removing some packages manually. For example,
$ pkgrm SPROdbxui SPROidext SUNWnbcpp

pkginfo doesn't show any of those. All the SPRO* packages seem to have been removed.
I'd like to amend my original post, the system is Solaris 9, not 10.
