Uninstalling SQLEVAL
Apr 3, 2006
I downloaded the SQLEVAL but did not install it on my computer. It is not something I am going to need to use. Can I just delete the file folders to remove it, or do I have to finish the install, then go through the uninstall process? I would rather avoid the install because it has caused problems for a co-worker and I don't want to run into similar issues.
This may be the silliest question you guys see on the boards, but I would rather look stupid then to do something I shouldn't and screw up my computer.
If you need to know I am running Windows XP with SP2 installed.
Thanks in adavance for your help!

No, I'm not having any problems(yet) with servicepack 5a. However, in order to fine-tune an installation script, I need to install 5a on my test server several times.
So....how do I uninstall it? I was going from sp 3 to 5a. TIA

I have to uninstall Sql Express because of a problem that arose after I tried to make a connection from VS2008 Server Explorer to SqlExpress ( connection strings run from C3 code worked fine). I began getting weird errors and the issue has not been resolved after a long thread I ran in this forum.
It turns out there are plenty of dire warnings on the web and MSDN not to do this or that before you tried to uninstall. To tell you the truth I have uninstalled Sql Express in the past quite a few times but every time you fight new challenges and it is difficult to learn from experiecne. I have always done it headlong without considering consequences, eventually this bulldozed approach worked every time but there is a chance that with the .NET getting more complicated this time I may get in trouble.
I am referring to this article on MSDN: before you uninstalled Sql Express:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143365.aspx
which is awfully unclear. It seems it recommends uninstalling ALL versions of .NET from 2.0 on.
These are versions on my Vista machine:
v1.0.3705, v1.1.4322, v2.0.50727, v3 .0, v3.5
Do I have to uninstall any? I don't think I've done it before.
Now, those .NET versions I listed above are just folders in my WindowsMicrosoft.NETFramework directory. When I try to open Turn Windows features On & Off I can see only .NET 3.0 Framework, nothing else. Not even .NET 3.5!
Also there is this frightening link:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.sqlserver.server&tid=0187b017-4ea2-4b32-aa28-6f6778d6b47b&mid=925c9341-fcc3-4678-ba53-80f30ee7aa28&cat=en_US_671e06d0-f20d-4bb3-9c6a-42c825ddb1dc&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=&p=1
Any comments will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi. I'm a newbie for sql server. I have a laptop loaded with win vista home premium edition. I installed sql server 2005 developer edition service pack 1 on it. It said that this version is not supported by vista so upgrade it with sp2, so I did the same. I upgraded it to sql express 2005. Now it got installed but it doesn't let me create new database and displayed the msg "LOGON FAILED FOR 'USER' " . I thought of reinstalling it. But now it is not uninstalling. I tried it through add/remove programs. The 'sql server management tools' is not visible in the start program list,but 'sql server 2005' and some other components of it are visible in add/remove programs. Then I tried using command prompt that was given in microsoft's site only http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=909967#
Step 2: Run the command to uninstall the SQL Server components
c:"%ProgramFiles%Microsoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapARPWrapper.exe /Remove"
But this was also of no help. Now What should I do??? Need your HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANKS!!

I'm about to unistall V6.5 from my 7.0 server. Has anyone done this yet?
Does it require a machine reboot? Have you had any problems after the uninstall? Is it really as simple as the BOL leads me to believe?

Hi,
I installed SqlExpress with Advanced services on to a server running Small Business server 2003.
I needed to uninstall SqlExp, and thought I did so through Add/Remove programs. For some reason it did not seem to uninstall. Foolishly I did not check, and then tried to install another copy in a different directory. I've then ended up with complete mess.
Tried to do another uninstall, but again, ended up with two incomplete versions of express.
Is it possible that part of my problem revolves around the fact I have a mirrored drive with Raid 1 installed.??
Whatever, I need to know how to clean up the mess and start again. Preferably without having to do a format and reinstall SBS.

Hi,
While building a vista 64 Ultimate machine recently, I temporarily installed the express edition toolkit with visual studio 2005.
I have since uninstalled sql, and reinstalled the 64-bit developer edition. However it appears the toolkit did not uninstall completely - now when I try to install workstation components, bol, etc. It says that the upgrade is blocked.
Hard as it is to believe that an express install can block a developer edition install, it does.
I've tried reinstalling the ee toolkit, as any client/management tools are better than none - but this fails, saying that the components are already on the machine!! sheesh!
It doesn't give an option to uninstall.
Has anyone got any ideas. I've uninstalled *everything* sql related, reinstalled with sp2 twice. I can see and create databases using visual studios server explorer, but this does not give any management options. Does anyone know how I can remove whatever registry entries are fouling up this installation?
Thanks,
mk17

I have a server with a fresh install of SQL Server 2000. I accidentilly installed the Sql server 2005 SP1 disk (instead of the actual software). And what it did was a nightmare. It installed the client tools and link them to the 2000 instance. I went back and attempted to install the actual 2005 copy. Ever since I have items in my add/remove that will not uninstall. I removed everything except the 2005 Engine and Analysis services. I've followed the MS article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909967) with removal, trying everything. All got removed except the Engine and Analysis services!!!!
I've gone into the registry and reviewed the keys, etc! I've run removal attempts fof both command prompt and add/remove, does not work. I've tried reapplying SP's, etc no luck.
Unless I get these services off I can not install 2005 and 2000 again.

When I installed Visual Studi C# Express, SQL Server Express was not installed because SQL Server Beta was already there. I tried to uninstall SQL Server Beta several times and failed to do so through Add/Remove Programs. Accidentally, I uninstalled SQL Server Set-up programs from Add/Remove and consequently, I am unable to uninstall SQL Server Beta through Add/Remove anymore.
Is there a utility to download that enable me to uninstall SQL Server Beta? I have no way to install SQL Server Express without removing the previous version. It seems to be a real problem from the many questions I found on MSDN.
Please help.

I am following the 2005 BOL article "How to: Remove a SQL Server 2005 Failover Clustered Instance (Setup)". The process is very simple, but perhaps the documentation is missing some steps. I am receiving the following errors during the uninstall.
The setup has encountered an unexpected error while Completing Commit. The error is: The cluster resource cannot be moved to another group because other resources are dependent on it.
If I click OK I receive the error below.
Failed to set registry settings for server network libraries. The action is SetShilohRoot. The error is 2 (The system cannot find the file specified.)
Am I supposed to do something to the cluster prior to performing the uninstall?
Thanks, Dave

Hi guys,
I'm trying to create a all-in-one installation package for my application which make use of the SQL 2005 Express edition. It seems that there's no way to roll my application MSI installation with the database engine, the only ways around this problem is to use a bootstrap exe to launch the sql setup before or after my main application's MSI. This works fine during installation and I have modified the original .NET framework bootstrapper to do just that.
The problem comes when uninstalling my application. Since the uninstall process is all done through the MSI engine, how would I take the sql instance with me during my application's uninstall? Since the sql engine is also based on MSI technology, I won't be able to do that during the removal step of my application's MSI, right? Any one know any "clean" ways around that? Besides not letting users uninstall my application directly from Add/Remove program and force them to call another exe simular to my installation bootstrap?
I'm considering to use 3rd party tools like InstallShields, but even them are recommending people to stay with the MSI technology which is where the problem is. I'm running out of ideas really fast...
Thanks in advance!
William

I have been running SQL Server 2005 Express (basic) Instance MSSMLBIZ in conjunction with Microsoft Office Accounting 2007 Professional.
I want to make a "clean install" of SQL Server 2005 Express Advanced, SQL Server2005 Express Tools, in order to create additional Reports in Microsoft Office Accounting 2007 Professional.
I ran uininstall on the basic SQL Server 2005 Express, but Native Client did not uninstall; the following message was posted:
"An installation package for the product Microsoft SQL Native Client cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'sqlncli.msi'."
I then attempted to install SQL Server 2005 Express Advanced, but it failed to load Native Client. I then uninstalled all instances, deleted the SQL Server Express Files in Programs, and ran "CC Cleaner" to clear the Registry.
I then attempted to uninstall Native Client again, and received the following message:
"This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
I the returned to CCCleaner Tools to attempt to delete the residuals and received the following message
"Cannot delete msi installer."
I ran "Search - *.msi" and there is no instance of sqlncli.msi visible.
I have Removed Registry Entries for SQL Express,
except HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT instances.
Should I delete these?
Have I forgotten or omitted something??
Please Help.

Hi there, I've been having a problem of being unable to connect to my DBs when I open them up in Sql Management Studio Express. First I thought that the DBs were corrupted however, I picked up signs that this may not be the case. There is a chance that it is a problem with the Management Studio. Thus instead of uninstalling SqlExpress I want now to uninstall only the management studio.
My problem started after I attempted to connect my Sqlxpress DBs with my VS2008. In the Server Explorer window there is an option to display Sql Express DBs, so I made an attempt. After that when i tried open the same DBs in the management studio I began getting numerous errors.
I ran a thread to resolve it but nothing helpful transpired.
Now, I attempted to uninstall the Management Studio via Start==>Control Panel==>Programs==>Uninstall Programs. Iam running Vista Ultimate. The problem is that when I attempted to uninstall it the system said that I do not have the administrative rights. There is no way to right click on the menu item and confirm the administrative rights.
I have two options:
(1) To find out the uninstall exec for the Management Studio and run it thru cmd cmd prompt as administrator.
(2) To invoke the window GUI for Uninstall programs thru cmd prompt and do the same. For that I need to find the exec or msc file that generates the GUI. I am now going to try to find this out.
In the meantime, if anybody knows the name of the file that uninstalls Sql Management Studio Express, please let me know.
Thanks.
