I already had SQL 7 and SQL 2000 running alongside each other but I decided to take both of them off, and reinstall SQL 2000 only. When I removed the program I was asked if I want to leave some dll files created by SQL 2000 that would not harm my computer if left alone, so I selected the 'No to All' option.My problem is that when I am trying to reinstall SQL 2000, I am getting error messages during the setup process refering to;'sqlredis.exe- Application Error- The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000006)' 'PRFTemplates.exe- Application Error- The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000006)' 'Setup- Cannot read the specified file. Correct the problem and restart setup. File:D\x86\setup\..\Repostry\dbsacn.dll'I have tried several methods to rectify the problem; deleting default and named instances in the registry, using the registry rebuild option in the advanced options of setup, but all to no avail. The frustrating thing is that I had it up and working before, and now it doesn't want to reinstall!Please help, I am a final year student at university and I need to have this version of SQL 2000 up and running before I begin building an e commerce application based on RDBMS and XML. I hope I have provided you guys with enough information to help . Thanking you in advancedLeon Watson" |

| Try manually uninstalling SQL Server. You probably have part of the software installed and that's why you can't reinstall it.
