Post subject: help with SQL 2005 Express!!!! cant remove instance (add/remove no longer lists it but the instance still lists in services)
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>sqlserver>msde (more info?)
Hello Everyone -

I'm trying to install this application that needs sql 2000 or sql 2005
express.

I have a box that already hasthe sql desktop engine running for blackberry
enterprise software and another application.

The third application at the suggestion of the vendor was installed with sql
2005 express.

After installing the program once successfully, i realized I needd to move
it to another location. I removed the program and the sql 2005 options via
add/remove.

I go back to install the program check off the items to include the sql 2005
express.Now it doesnt launch the sql install.
it tries to added the database and it says its unavailable. I looked further
and found that under services it has a listing for sql server
2005(database$) the one that im supposed to create. I dont see any way to
remove those and I suspect that being in the services list is keeping the
install from reinstalling sql 2005 express properly.

can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks,

if you do not have access to a "customer support" program, you can try
manually uninstalling the SQLExpress instance you are involved with as
described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909967/en-us..

I have SQL express completely uninstalled,but in services i still have it
showing once instance. If i try to start it it says the file not found, and
the aritlce i read below im not sure if that is what i need to be able to
get that out of thee service list.

I cant reinstall this application because the sql express install fails out
(it doesnt give it a chance to create the database im guessing because there
is one of the same name listed in the services under control panel )..

I also hae MDSE installed for blackberry and another program. I tried to
create another instance there, the databsae was created and when i specify
it in the setup it says the SA account is not trusted or someting like that?

this is very frustrating.

the program im trying to apply
