| Hi everyone!after having installed SQL succesfully once already, I had trouble with another software & so I deleted & deinstalled SQL. Then I tried to install it again. In the installation process, you can see which parts are being installed, the first 4 worked out OK:MSXML6 OKSQL Setup Support Files OKSQL Native Client OKSQL VSS Writer OKBut then with the fifth part, I get the following Error message:"An instance with the same name is already installed on this computer. To proceed with SQL Server Setup, provide a unique instance name. [OK][/b][/b]And then it doesn't give me any option as to changing the instance name. As I said, I believe to have erased & deinstalled all SQL related files, & yet I get that message.Does anyone have any idea what I should do here??Thanks in advance! |

| Are you able to provide details of how you "deleted and de-installed SQL"?Did you use the "add/remove software"? - (assuming you are using windows) or simply delete the files |
