All Forums  General SQL Server Forums  New to SQL Server Administration  SQL Server Installation Incomplete

Author  Topic  Tere Starting Member 1 Post Posted - 2012-05-08 : 09:59:39 I tried to install SQL Server 2008 windows 7. Half way the installation, the power went down as it over heated. As a result the computer shut down and I had to restart the computer. I looked on menu and sql server parts were installed available on All Programs. Management Studio was not there. This is because the installation was incomplete. I tried to complete the installation but the only option I had was to press setup again which re-starts a whole new installation, this time a named instanced. The second installation commpleted but with Management Basic failed due to side by side installation issue... something not matching (It may be the configuration) Now I am trying to uninstall and some parts were uninstalled but I could not uninstall completely as it said something like, undo the changes first with management basic installation to do my installation or uninstallation. Could someone please give some advice on a good action to correct this fault. Thank you in advance. my email address is tbau@hotmail.co.uk
