I am trying to uninstall Sql Server 2005 Beta in order to upgrade to
the Sql Server 2005 Enterprise Edition but without success.
Here is what I have already done:
I had VS 2005 2.0 Beta and Sql Server 2005 Beta installed. I wanted to
upgrade to the Professional Editions so I uninstalled VS 2005 2.0 Beta
and Sql Server 2005 Beta from Add/ Remove programs.
I have successfully installed VS 2005 Professional Edition but when I
try to install Sql Server 2005 it gives me an error saying that SQL
Server 2005 has detected incompatible components from beta versions of
Visual Studio, .NET Framework, or SQL Server 2005.
My SQL Server 2005 Beta has expired and I want to unistall it. When I try, it tells me I need to have .NET framework 2.0 before I can run setup. I do have .NET 2.0. And I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and I still get the error from SQL Server when I try to unsintall. This error is pissing me off and this stupid beta is taking up almost a gig of space. HELP.
Ok, I have tried everything I can think of, but I am still getting errors to do with SQL server 2005 beta. Since the beta expired on all the VS.net 2005 I thought it would be a good idea to uninstall the lot to save some hard disk space...how wrong I was!!
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.
When i tried to install the beta 3 above I encounter the following problems ;- TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Beta 3 Setup---------------------------------------- Setup configuration check cannot be executed due to WMI configuration on the computer D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBinnetwcls.mof. For details, see the Sqlrunxx.log file or call Microsoft Product Support. A seach in the net has the followings help link For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=20476&ProdName=Microsoft%20SQL%20Server&ProdVer=9.00.852&EvtSrc=setup.rll&EvtID=29535&EvtType=sqlca%5Csqlmofca.cpp@Do_sqlMofcomp@Do_sqlMofcomp@x8007735f Can this version coexist with VS2005 beta 2 because before i can install visual studio 2005 beta 2 I need to uninstall the dot net framework 2.0 beta which come together with the beta 3 sql 2005 installation. Hey I link this editor, Where can I get this beautiful forum message editor ?.
Do you now, How can I move database with datas to release version of sql server? Procedores backup/restore can't help becouse of unsuported version database.
I installed the beta version first and it was working fine, then I obtained a copy of SQL Server 200 Enterpirse Edition and installed it. But I can't connect to the beta SQL Server 2005 Instance on my computer through Enterprise Mananger, but I can in Query Analyzer. ANyone know why?
I have completed the uninstallation instructions for my beta versions of SQLExpress (repeatedly). I have used the manual unistall procedures also. I have physically removed the SqlServer directory from the the Program Files directory. The result is the same. This message appears every time I try to to install the MS SQL Advanced package:
"SQL Server 2005 setup has detected incompatible components from beta versions of Visual Studio, Net Framework, or SQL 2005. For detailed instructions on uninstalling SQL Server 2005, see the SQL Server 2005 Readme."
The detailed instructions are NOT detailed enough.
I have uninstalled the .NET 2.0 package and re-installed it. The SERVICES window still lists the SQL Server as present even though it is not started.
I am trying to uninstall the SQL SERVER 2005 Beta version but I am getting following error.
SQL Server 2005 has detected incompatible componanets from Beta version of Visual Studio. NET framework or sql server 2005
I have SQL Server 2005 is already in my system but it is B version so I am trying to uninstall it but it is not getting Uninstalled. and my system is having visual studio 2003 .net
so how to uninstall SQL Server 2005 Beta version ?
Is it possible to install SQL Server 2005 Eval on a Virtual PC 2007 client running Server 2008 Beta? Nothing says it isn't possible, it says I need to service pack it right away, but before it gets started it comes up with the error 'sqlcu.dll failed to load'. Anyone know what this is all about?
Hello guys! I have to develop a new web based project. It's a web portal for events. At the moment it's runnung on an Access database. The new version should be running on a SQL server - the desicion is: MSDE 2000 or SQL Server 2005 Express (Beta). What do you recommend? The webpages are developed under .NET 1.1.
I had installed a beta version of SQL Server (SQL Server 2005 CTP) and now I want to install a full version of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on my machine. I have properly uninstalled all the CTP componenets from Add-Remove programs and even deleted the registry data of that installation. I have also removed the related folders from the hard drive.
When I run the setup of the full version it says that setup has detected the beta versions of either .Net Framework, Visual Studio or SQl Server. Remove the beta components using Add-Remove programs and try again. Can anyone help me out of this problem?

However the files are there in program files.At start up I get multiple fatal errors etc.Does anyone know how I can unistall SQL server 2005 completely - perhaps from the command line?Or..how could I stop SQL server from trying to start at start up?All help most appreciated.TFM
I uninstalled SQL Server 2005 through "Add or Remove Programs". Apparently I did something wrong. The files are gone, but when I try to reinstall, the installer says SQL Server already exists, and won't install. When I go to the Configuration Manager, it shows all the components, but not of the services are started - or will start. How do I clean this up without wiping my drive and reinstalling my OS?
If I try to uninstall my SQL Server 2005 I nead to have instaled SqlSupport.msi in my list programs and I don't have it. Then I found it in a folder "...ServersSetup" but it dosen't work. I can't install that program and if it's already instaled I can't see it in my list programs. What can I do?
I have been trying to uninstall SQL Server (Enterprise Edition) from one of our development boxes and the programs bombs out. When I looked in the log file, I see the following error message which is useless needless to say. Has anyone come across this issue? How did you resolve it? Thanks in Advance.
I had to do a system restore to solve some other issues now my SQL Server 2005 doesnt work (SQL Server 2000 on the same machine [diffrent instance] does). I have tried to uninstall with add/remove programs but the instance doesnt appear there. I have tried to use the 'ARPWrapper.exe /Remove' command as described in KB909967 wich also fails. I have also tried to reinstall with no sucess. I also tried uninstalling SQL2000 and removing as many references as I could find, again now joy.
Is there a script somewhere to remove everything (although I would like to try and keep the SQL2000 instance)?
Long story short: Installed SQL Server 2005 Developers Edition along with Visual Studio 2005. Everything worked as it should.
Then there was a problem installing .NET Framework 2.0 Security Update. Fixed that by uninstall and reinstall of .NET Framework 2.0.
Now SQL Server does not work. So I figured uninstall/reinstall. Only problem is that it WILL NOT uninstall. I have tried to uninstall manually per KB article (9009967). That doesn't work either.
I have a failed sql cluster setup on Windows 2003 OS cluster. sql will not uninstall on node 1 because it says the group name was not specified in the template.ini file for the cluster. The OS cluster nodes have been evicted from the cluster. The OS cluster is no longer available to provide a group name for.
SQl uninstall process process is failing because of the error mentioned above.
I want to completely , uninstall SQL server from both nodes, clean up Windows Server and install just a default instance of SQL server on just one of the machines, The cluster can wait.
This is getting extremely annoying. I cannot unistall another instance of SQL Server Express 2005.
I have had three different servers with the separate installs of SQL Server Express 2005. I remove the product (Backup Exec, Dell IT Assistant, Microsoft System Center 2007). I uninstall the third-party product and they leave behind SQL Server Express 2005. For what idiotic reason I do not know. Then I try and remove SQL Server Express 2005 and for the third straight time it fails.
Here's the latest failure error, "TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup ------------------------------ The setup has encountered an unexpected error while Setting Internal Properties. The error is: Fatal error during installation.

Does anyone know how to actually remove SQL Server Express 2005? This is pathetic.
I'm trying to perform a silent install/uninstall of SQL Server 2005 Express. I manage to install silently, but when trying to uninstall with the following command line:
there is one item left behind - "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client"
Does anyone know how to uninstall this as well?
Also, if MSXML 6.0 is already installed when installing SQL Server 2005 Express, when performing an uninstall with the above command line, MSXML 6.0 is also uninstalled, which may not be the desired outcome.
After going through "Add and Remove Programs" and removing all components of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on my desktop I get an error telling me there is a copy already installed and to remove it before continuing. Well nothing shows up under "Add and Remove Programs"; Windows cleanup shows none of the SQL Server components; a check of the register (HOTKEYS.../unistall) have no SQL Server entries; under services all SQL Server services are disabled and not running.
I have followed all the steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909967 (Describes how to uninstall an instance of SQL Server 2005 manually).
Anyone out there got a solution? (Visual Studio 2005 eval is loaded on the box)
Hi all, Yesterday, I just downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Express (SQLEXPR.EXE) and tried to install it in my Windows XP Pro PC that is on Microsoft NT 4 LAN System. I got the following error: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 CTP setup The Microfost .NET Framework 2.0 is not installed. Please install before running setup. This morning, I downloaded the NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package Beta 2 (x86) from the Microsoft Download Center and installed it in my Windows XP Pro PC. Then I tried to install the SQL Server 2005 Express (SQLEXPR.EXE) again. This time I got a new error: SQL Server 2005 Setup has detected incompatible components from beta versions of Visual Studio, .NET Framework, or SQL Server 2005. Use ADD or Remove Programs to remove these components, and then run SQL Server 2005 Setup again. I am confused and lost in this installation problem. Was the .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package Beta 2 (x86) a wrong Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 I downloaded and installed in my PC? Where is the right Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 for the SQL Server 2005 Express? Please help and advise. Thanks in advance, Scott Chang
