I have uninstalled and am trying to reinstall. when I click on install standard edition the software does nothing, just sits there. It doesn't create any log files, it does start a service called sqlsetup.exe(?). I am wondering if maybe the uninstall didn't work correctly(although I didn't recieve any error msg). When I try to reinstall it tells me there is already a an instance running(the service). I am stumped as I have installed from this same cd in the past!! UURRGG!!! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!" |

| I’ve had the same problem in the past. Reboot your machine and delete the registry keys manuallyHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServerHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL ServerHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSSQLServer HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSSQLServerADHelperHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SQLSERVERAGENTAlso don’t forget to remove sqlserver service manager icon in the startup folder. |
