I am the Admin. I do not have a Test Cluster Server. When I try to delete any of the above dlls I get the following error: Access is denied, maybe in use.
All SQL Server 2005 objects have been removed via Control Panel.
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 key has been deleted from the registry.
SQL Server Services have been stopped.
This instance will become a failover instance (instance2) once SQL Server 2005 have been removed
BTW, I have searched Google for the answer and have had no luck finding out to delete any of the above files.
Will someone show me a site to go to or tell me how to delete the above .dlls?

You will have to use handle.exe or process explorer from sysinternals to locate the process that has got a handle on those files. Then kill that process to release the handle so that the uninstall can proceed.

This would be from the cmd line, correct?

Where do I go and how do I execute handle.exe and process explorer from sysinternals ?

Could the error be caused by the hot fix? SQLServer2005-KB970892-x64-ENU.exe or by SP3? SQLServer2005SP3-KB955706-x64-ENU.exe

handle.exe will have to be used from command line on the box where you are finding the files to be locked. To get a GUI based interface, use process explorer (download it from http://www.sysinternals.com) and then use Find handle from the menu and type in a name.
This will reveal the name of the process and go from there.

Hi,
I just tried using ProcessExplorer and it crashed the server I was trying to remove the dll's on.
Any other ideas?
