De-installing SQl Server 2005

  • I need to completely de-install SQl Server 2005.   I used Add/remove programs to remove all listed components.   I also deleted nearly all SQl Server components in c:\program files\Microsoft SQl Server.   I also deleted any obvoius registry entries. 

    This progress is necessary so I can do a clean re-install.   

    The win2003 server still thinks it has SQl Server installed.   Did i miss anything?  

     

    Thanks.

  • PS.   The sql server services are still listed.

  • look around for Veritas Backup Exec, or any other program that may have installed a named instance, like for instance Ms Small Business Accounting, etc.

    Hope this helps

  • Was in a similar situation: uninstalled SQLSERVER2005 , services still showing up.

    A simple re-boot resolved the issue.

  • I messed it up pretty good. I asked tech staff to rebuild the server.

    Ms has a tech net article about this, but it did not work.
