Uninstall 2000
Feb 12, 2008
I have a copy of SQL 2000 installed locally on my notebook. I would like to remove it and install 2005 however I get the following message: unInstallShield has edetected that 'c:program filesmicrosoft SQL Server oolsinnisqle.exe' is in use. I have not run the query analyzer in some time nor do I see this process running in task manager. I do have a copy of winsql on my machine from Synametric Technologies. Not sure what I need to do to successfully remove 2000 prior to installing 2005.

Hey yall. I'm a DBA in a company where I do NOT have the ability tocontrol who logs into my SQL servers as administrator, so I'm lookingfor a way to uninstall the workstation components WITHOUT completelyuninstalling all of my instances. Does anyone know how to do this?All I can find is the complete removal option in add/remove, and theinstall cd setup doesn't have a remove function that I can find. Anyidea's?The reason for wanting to do this is so that every tom dick and harrythat logs in as administrator doesn't have the ability to just open EMand do what they please. I want to force people to log in fromanother box so I can get tighter control over who can access mydatabases. Any help is awesome, thanks!Joshua Austill

G'day,
I've got a software development PC that was running SQL 2000 + Analysis Services + Reporting Service (sp4 from memory). I then installed SQL Express 2005 and later then SQL 2005 Standard (dev) + Analysis + Reporting and upgraded to Sp2 last month.
To help improve the performance of this poor little PC, I've gone to Control Panel and uninstalled SQL 2000 service. I've also used the SQL 2005 Surface area configuration tool to switch off the SQL Express instance from running. Practically, I probably should remove the $SQLExpress instance.
The problem I'm faced with is the SQL 2000 Analysis and SQL 2000 Reporting service is still registered as Windows Services and showing the the SQL Server Configuration Manager (2005), but there is no uninstall option in the control pannel. So I can't work out how to uninstall these software and services.
It is also apparent that there are a series of "files" in the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server80* directory like ..ToolsDevToolssamples*.* directory and others that shouldn't really be there if I've uninstalled SQL 2000 via the control panel.
Is there a SQL 2000 cleanup or removal tool that will help remove these old services and files?
Does anyone have some suggestions on how to cleanup my development PC without the full operating system installation?

Hello,
I need some space on my machine. I have SQL 7 on it, and I want to completely remove it from my system. I have done the following:
1. Used the SQL Uninstall to uninstall
2. Removed MSSQL7 folder using win explorer
3. MSSQL folder in (HKEY_LOCALMACHINESOFTWAREMICROSOFTMSSQL7)
4. Rebooted the machine
Yet I see traces of SQL7 on my machine! When I tried to reinstall, it told me that there was a license already on the machine.
What do I need to do to completely wipe it out?

I mistakenly installed SQL express using remote desktop, now I cannot do anything in it. Nobody could help with that either but based on posts with the same message, I tried uninstalling sql server. It wouldn't uninstall nor can I repair or reinstall. Uninstalling thru Add or Remove Programs only resulted in the program listing being removed from Add or Remove Programs. Most of the sql server programs are still installed. They can be run but continue to malfunction. When I try a new installation, I get a message that the programs are already installed. How can I correct this without reinstalling Win XP? Please help. Your valuable feedback is greatly appreciated.

I upgraded from SQL 6.5 to 7.0. Because I got a number of errors I went back
to 6.5. Now I want to try again to upgrade to 7.0. How can I do that?
Do I have to uninstall 7.0 and reinstall?
If I uninstall 7.0 will that blow away 6.5?
Thanks

Hi,
Somehow, ignorantly, I managed to install SQL 7 SP2 on a computer that didn't have SQL 7 yet, only 6.5. Don't ask me how it allowed this,
but it did. In any case, now I have a problem. When I try to install SQL 7, it tells me I can't install an older version than what already exists,
and that I should uninstall it first. Well, I looked in the Control Panel, but there's no entry there to uninstall. I deleted all the SQL 7.0 keys I could
find in the registry, and still it refuses to install. Can anyone tell me just what the heck I have to delete in order to get SQL 7 to install on this
machine?
Thanks!
Joe

While trying to 'tidy up' I ran into this error when trying to ininstall an SQL 7.0 beta: 'Unable to locate the installation log file C:MSSQL7Uninst.isu Uninstall will not continue'.
Search confirms that such a file is not present. I would reinstall (with the final product) then try Uninstall again, but disk space prohibits this.
Ideas to get around this?

I had replication installed between my two SQL servers with no problems until I changed the Primary Key attribute on one of the replicating tables. After that one change, I continued to receive errors for one week about failed replication (due to this one table!). I tried removing Replication so that I could "reinstall" it, but my Publicating server will not show the option to 'Install Publishing..' in the Server Tool. I followed the advice found on "SWYNK.com/ch17.asp" as it stated:
"Uninstalling Replication Completely
Carefully consider all options before you opt to remove replication entirely from the system. This operation shuts down all replication to all subscribing servers, and it does so in a somewhat brute force manner by removing the replication option from the server and deleting the distribution database.
There are three steps for uninstalling replication in SQL Server, as follows:
1)Discontinue all replication services, all publication and subscription services, between this system and other servers with which it is working.
2)Turn off the replication option at the server engine level.
3)Drop the distribution database. "
I still cannot get the option to Install Publishing again. In fact, I continue to get the option to "Uninstall Publishing.." in the Server tool. I stopped/started services dozens of times with no luck. Any help would be great !!!!

Hi,
I am wondering if I am going to encounter any problems when I uninstall SQL Server 2005 standard edition and install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
I am asking this as I found out today that a project I am developing (have been working on this for a few weeks now) that we're to be using Express edition. I am just hoping that I'm not going to come across any problems by doing this?

Hello
I have been following this document to uninstall SQL 2005 for a virtual server: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909967 and when following this step:
start /wait msiexec /x GUID /l*v c:sql_uninstall.log for the SQL Server 2005 GUID I get the following error:
'This installer package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it'.
There also is not a sql_uninstall.log file on the server.
All other components have uninstalled successfully using Add/Remove Programmes apart from the database engine which gets the below error:
'The set up has encountered an unexpected error while setting internal properties. The error is: Fatal error during installation.'
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi all,
I have a strange problem here. How to uninstall SQLEXPRESS when it does not appear in the "Add/remove program"?
Another problem is that I can't connect to the local server using SQL Server Enterprise manager. This is the error that i got:
"a connection could not be established to (My Computer name)SQLEXPRESS.
Reason: [SQL-DMO]you must use SQL Server 2005 management tools to connect to this server.
Please verify SQL Server is running and check your SQL Server registration properties (by right-clicking on the DHH-MCSQLEXPRESS node) and try again. "
I do not want to use SQL 2005 because of some issues. All I need is SQL 2000 to run properly.
Can anybody help me in this? Thanks.

Under Programs and Features, there are two instances of SQL Server: "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition" and "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools Express Edition". I have no need for them, and would like to remove them. However, whenever I try to remove them, I get the error message: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'SqlRun_Tools.msi' in the box below." Subsequently, I click on cancel, and I get the error message: "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it." In addition to this, there are many registry entries that begin with "Microsoft.SqlServer." under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. My OS is Vista Ultimate 32-bit. Any help is appreciated. THanks.
