This is expected behavior. 11.5 has a new feature that allows 32-bit and 64-bit OpenEdge Products to co-exist on the same Windows machine. Due to this feature the admsrvc command has changed. The defect referenced above was logged to ensure these changes are documented properly.

Resolution

admsrvc /remove32bit will uninstall a 32-bit AdminService in version 11.5 and later.
