| You are having more than instance on your SQL Server.MSSQL$MICROSOFTBCM is you named instance. If you need to uninstall this, then you can do it using COntrol Panel --- > Add/Remove Programs.Kishore |

| There's nothing (left) in control panel like "Microsoft SQL Server". I removed the only instance earlier last night.Is there a way to manually remove this stuff?Sam |

| I thought maybe installing a named instance, then removing the instance would be an idea.My first named instance was "samtest", this created/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSQL$SAMTEST/After uninstalling this, the folder/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSQL$MICROSOFTBCM/remained. Next, I installed a named instance "microsoftbcm", figuring this would overwrite...Nope. The installation created/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSQL$MICROSOFTB/close, but no cigar.Googling turned up something named "Outlook Business Contact Manager". I'm chasing that one now.Sam |

| I have similar problem. Office 2003 Professional has an Outlook add-in called Business Contact Manager which I think can install SQL Server 2000. When my AMD64 PC was set up by vendor, they installed an OEM version of Office 2003 - I suspect that SQL server 2000 isn't compatible with AMD64, anyway Office install didn't complete properly - in particular, the Business Contact Manage program install didn't complete after loading most of files including SQL server files. Because of incomplete Office install, I had problems when trying to update Office, strange issues with Outlook and can't uninstall Business Contact Manager or SQL Server 2000 (they aren't listed in add/remove programs). |

| Looks like it can be removed easily. See: Control Panel, Add/Remove ProgramsSam |

| In my case, Business Contact Manager (BCM) and SQL files have been installed under Program Files directory but programs are not listed under Control Panel : Add and remove programs. When I try to re-install BCM, I get a message to say the previous install didn't complete and can't get any further.Roger |

There is a technical term for this condition... YOU'RE HOSED !  Maybe you could try to delete the folder in safe mode, and try the installation again?Caution: The author of this post knows absolutely nothing about anything but will often speak as if he does.
