Re-Installation Failure

    Hello,

    I had SQL Server Express installed on my development box when I installed Visual Studio 2010.

    I then upgraded to the R2 version but after this I have continually had problems connecting. As a last resort I uninstalled everything that had anything to do with SQL server and have attempted a fresh build.

    Now I am getting a failure to install with the following error..

    SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:

    Value cannot be null.

    Parameter name : doc.

    Can anyone offer me a pointer to a solution ?

    Thanks,

    Peter

    Most likely you did not completely uninstall SQL Server. There are numerous sites if you do a Google search that go into great detail of exactly what and where you need to install from (most likely you have a registry record that did not clear).

    Good luck

    My solution has been to rebuild the OS as I found cleaning the registry a pain.

    Why Microsoft can't write code to cleanup after them selves I am not sure.

    If you do not or cannot reinstall the OS - take a look at the following:
