Can't Uninstall SQL 2005

Apr 29, 2008

Hello

I have been following this document to uninstall SQL 2005 for a virtual server: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909967 and when following this step:
start /wait msiexec /x GUID /l*v c:sql_uninstall.log for the SQL Server 2005 GUID I get the following error:
'This installer package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it'.

There also is not a sql_uninstall.log file on the server.
All other components have uninstalled successfully using Add/Remove Programmes apart from the database engine which gets the below error:
'The set up has encountered an unexpected error while setting internal properties. The error is: Fatal error during installation.'

Any ideas?
Thanks

A Complete Uninstall Of SQL 2005

May 8, 2006

I recently re-built my entire system from ground up (new hard drives, OS, etc). I now have the problem of SQL 2005 installed partially, but no way to get the management tools installed. I get an "already installed message when I try". I've never encounted this before on any other SQL install.

Sequence of events. I installed VS 2005 Pro first, then followed by SQL 2005. Somewhere this install didn't work, and I was left with the MS installed thinking I suceeded, yet none of the functions of SQL were worked or more importantly accessable.

I tried to re-install after using the ADD/Remove App from the control panel (which was sucessfull). SQL thought it was still installed. So I uninstalled VS 2005 as well, and deleted any programs in the SQL directory. Then I checked ADD/Remove programs and nothing was showing. The re-install still did not work. My guess is that the registry is still loaded with now useless entries.

Is there any solution left that does not require me to hand delete any SQL registry entries, since that is always a great way to completely kill my system.

Thanks.

SQL Server 2005 Uninstall

Jul 30, 2007

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?

Can't Uninstall SSRS 2005 X64

Aug 27, 2007

Hi all,

I'm having trouble removing SSRS from a Win 2003 x64 Server. I have searched the forums here and tried different suggestions but to no avail. The problem: I go to Add/Remove Programs and choose to change SQL Server, I select the 3-4 options required to remove Reporting Services and when I get to the screen that has the sub-heading 'The selected components are being configured' nothing happens. I just get a Next button but no other feedback whatsoever and SSRS still resides on the server.

It might be worth mentioning that during the change installation wizard I get a warning that 64 bit SSRS cannot be run when ASP.NET is running in 32 bit mode. This is in fact the reason I am uninstalling SSRS, but I do not know if this has any bearing on being able to remove SSRS.

Any ideas as to what I can do to remove this?

Regards,

Stephen.

Uninstall SQL Server 2005

Apr 25, 2007

I am new to SQL Server 2005. I want to uninstall the Standard version, for now, and install the Express version.



In my un-install of SQL Server 2005 I have managed to end up in a situation where I can't completely un-install, nor can I

re-install. I get a 1635 error message when attempting to install and I get the following message at system startup time:



Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with(could not open SQLEVN70.RLL)

Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem.



Assistance in resolving this would be deeply appreciated.

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.


Please advise.


Thank you.

Uninstall Of 2005 Gone Horribly Wrong

Mar 23, 2007

I am an old hand at RDBMS but have been using SQL Server for only 1 year.  I have a local install of 2005 Developer Edition, and also access a number of 2000 and 2005 instances on remote and network servers.  OK, so on 3/16 (after installing the 3/15 Windows Security Updates), I began getting this error when invoking any 2005 DB under Object Explorer in Management Studio "SQLWB - SQL Server Management Studio has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."  Very helpful.  So I ran a debug and got some unhandled exception errors:

'SqlWb.exe': Loaded 'C:WINDOWSsystem32wbemwbemsvc.dll', No symbols loaded.
'SqlWb.exe': Loaded 'C:WINDOWSsystem32wbemfastprox.dll', No symbols loaded.

First-chance exception at 0x79ea69f3 in SqlWb.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x088b200c.

After some poking around, my DBA told me that we had upgraded the servers for our team to SP1, and I should install that, because the file being read did not 'match up' with the commands.  But when I did so I got the warning:

- Edition Change Check (Warning)



Messages

Edition Change Check


To change an existing instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to a different edition of SQL Server 2005, you must run SQL Server 2005 Setup from the command prompt and include the SKUUPGRADE=1 parameter.

I researched this information, but it didn't really apply to my situation.  So I selected 'CONTINUE' and everything went downhill from there.  The install downloaded the SP1 setup support files (which by the way "cannot be removed") and then aborted.  I poked around some more and decided it would be easiest to Uninstall and Reinstall the Dev Edition from the DVD and then apply the SP.  The uninstall went fine until it got to the tools (which apparently were my real problem to start with).  When I attempt to uninstall the tools, I get the following message:

"Error reading from file C:WindowsassemblyGAC_MSILMicrosoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum9.0.242.0__89845dcd8080cc91Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum.dll

Verify that this file exists and that you can access it"

This message is presented with Retry and Cancel options.  The file does NOT exist, so Retry is not useful and cancel rolls back the entire uninstall. 

Error signature:

EventType : sql90setup     P1 : installfinalize     P2 : 0x643     P3 : unknown
P4 : 0x519     P5 : unknown     P6 : unknown    
P7 : sqlrun_tools.msi@9.00.1399.06    

In this part SP1/half uninstalled 2005 environment I am stuck like chuck.  I have searched for this dll online and on other folders of my hard drive to no avail.  I have also dug through these forums until my eyes are crossed.

Can anyone help?!?

How To Completely Uninstall SQL 2005 Std On Vista?

Aug 4, 2007

I have just migrated from XP Professional to Windows Vista Home Premium using Laplink€™s PCMover. PCMover gives no choice but moving everything to the new PC. I tried to uninstall everything related to SQL 2005, but whenever I try to install SQL 2005 Standard€™s database engine or analysis service, I get an error saying there is already an instance.


I tried the following command:
"%ProgramFiles%Microsoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapARPWrapper.exe /Remove


I also tried:
start /wait msiexec /x {GUID} /l*v c:sql_uninstall.log

Is there anyway to completely uninstall everything of SQL 2005 in my situation?
Thanks in advance!

SQL Express 2005 + CU5 Uninstall Error

Apr 25, 2008

Hello

I wonder if someone could help me.

I am currenltly working on a scripted install of SQL 2005 Express SP2 with Cumulative update 5 and am experiencing some very frustrating problems.

I need to provide the ability to script the install and script the deinstall, both of which are fine. However..

When i try to uninstall SQL from the script (or manually from add/remove programs) i get the following error

The installer has encountered an unexpected error. The error code is 2709. The specified Component name ('SxSComp.42B34EA79EE84812AF478E608EA6C2F8') not found in Component table.

The error occurs when the SQL 2005 uninstaller attempts to uninstall the workstation components, the result is a partial uninstall of SQL 2005 which becomes very difficult to uninstall.

Would appreciate any assistance anyone could provide me.

Thanks

Sql Server 2005 - Cannot Reinstall/uninstall

Apr 10, 2008

Hi,

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)?

Cannot Uninstall SQL Express 2005 Instances

Sep 5, 2007

Using Windows XP SQL Express 2005...


In Windows Installer Clean Up, it shows two instances:

MSSMLBIZ (used by Outlook Enterprice 07 with BCM)

Control, Panel, Add Remove, Remove SQL Express 2005, shows:

CSOLUTION (which is disabled)

MSSMLBIZ (enabled for BCM 07)

SQLEXPRESS (which is disabled)

The disabled instances will not start due to various error messages.


Under Computer, Manager, Services, more instances are listsed, which also will not start:

SQLEXPRESSDATA for example (which is disabled)


I would like to remove CSOLUTION since it is not used; it will not remove from control panel or manually via http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/909967 . You get various error messages, such as


Another application has exclusive access to the file c:program files...errorlog. Please shut down all other applications, then try again.


Even after a reboot, I still get this error.


I want to install and use instance SQLExpress, and I cannot remove it, but it will not start, and trying to reinstall it fails.


It was simple under MSDE 2000, no2 it seems to be impossible.


Does anyone have any ideas?

Honestly, I would like to uninstall SQL Express 2005 completely (except the BCM instant), and start over, but canot find a way to do this. SQL Express is a mess, I have spent days trying to resolve this, and am still where I started.
Thanks, bob

Can't Uninstall Or Reinstall SQL Server 2005 Dev

Nov 11, 2006

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.

The error info that I'm geting is:

LinkID: 20476

Product Name: Microsoft SQL Server

Product Version: 9.00.2047.00

Message source: setup.rll

Message ID: 50000

EvtType: stateengine
esourcemodule.cpp@ScheduleActionAction@sqls::ResourceModule::LoadStringW@0x716



I get the same data during setup or uninstall. Neither of which completes.

Needless to say this is driving me nuts. I'm trying to learn VB.NET programming and many of the examples use SQL Server.

Any help would be appreciated.

How To Silently Uninstall SQL Server 2005 Express

Apr 23, 2007

Hi.

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:

sqlexpr.exe /qb REMOVE=ALL INSTANCENAME=<INSTANCENAME>

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.

Failed To Uninstall SQL 2005 After Installation Failure

Apr 11, 2007

Hi, we have 2 servers (Windows 2003 R2) in a cluster. All clustering requirements have been setup, so the next step is to install the SQL 2005 cluster.

However, during installation, we encounter problem. Some of the services failed to install. Afterwards, we tried to re-install, but we encounter unexpected error. Then we tried to uninstall, we also encounter unexpected error.

We already tried to follow KB 909967. Using ARPWrapper gives the same error as the one from Add-Remove Program, with a pop-up:

There was an unexpected failure during the setup wizard. You may review the setup logs and/or click the help button for more information.

So, we go to the "If you experience problem" section, where we try to uninstall the items one by one. The first one we found is Analysis Services, and when we try to uninstall it, we encounter this problem:

Error 29527. The setup has encountered an unexpected error in datastore. The action is RestoreSetupParams. The error is : Source File Name: datastorecachedpropertycollection.cppCompiler Timestamp: Fri Jul 29 01:13:49 2005 Function Name: CachedPropertyCollection::findPropertySource Line Number: 130----------------------------------------------------------Failed to find property "OwningGroup" {"VirtualServerInfo", "", "NAME"} in cache Source File Name: datastoreclusterinfocollector.cpp Compiler Timestamp: Fri Sep 16 13:20:12 2005 Function Name: ClusterInfoCollector::collectClusterVSInfo Source Line Number: 883 ---------------------------------------------------------- Failed to detect VS info due to datastore exception. Source File Name: datastoremachineconfigscopeproperties.cpp Compiler Timestamp: Wed Aug 24 13:40:04 2005 Function Name: SqlInstallConfigScope.InstanceName Source Line Number: 95 ---------------------------------------------------------- Error: Could not find an install of type 5 for instance MSSQLSERVER

So, now we are stuck. We can not re-install because the uninstallation step fails. Really need your help.

SSMSE CTP Uninstall And Visual Studio 2005

Apr 23, 2006

In the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express Readme there is the following cautionary note:

When you uninstall a pre-release version of SSMSE on a computer that has Visual Studio 2005 installed, you must repair the Windows Registry before you can use the Visual Studio Dataset Designer. For more information, see Knowledge Base article 917635.

When I click on the article link, the page displays: The Knowledge Base (KB) Article you requested is currently not available.

Is there any further information on this Cautionary note?
