I am facing a serious problem with the unproper uninstall. I have installed MSSQL 2005 Enterprise and created an Active Directory at the server. I have removed the AD and wanted to uninstall SQL 2005.
I was not able to uninstall it fully. I have reinstalled it several times, just to tryying to remove the registry entries.
Is there a solution / tool or a document describing, how I can fully manually remove MS SQL 2005 from a server?
Thanks in advanace for taking the time to read this post. I am using MSSQL 2005 and have created a function that allows me to use regular expressions in my SQL queries. My question is I have a pattern buried in a field of misc data that I need to pull out just that pattern and discard the rest of the data. Here is the Regular Expression I am using select field1 from table1 where dbo.RegExMatch (field1,'[a-zA-Z]{4}[0-9]{6}[a-zA-Z]{2,4}')=1 This returns all values in the field that match the expression. What I want to do now is remove all data from the field on the left and right of the expression that does not match the expression. How would I accomplish this without reading through the 200k+ records and writing rules for every exception I run across? so I could have Gar b/a ge 'THE GOOD DATA' m/or1 ba4d da....ta. All I want to do is return 'THE GOOD DATA'
DB is developed on local computer with MSSQL 2005 Express. My host is on MSSQL 2005 workgroup. Are they compatible, because I am getting errors? Is my approach wrong?
I have tried several approaches.
A) I created a backup of database on my local, then placed a copy on the server. Then I tried to restore through Server Management Studio. I get this error.

B: I also have tried copying the database. I put it in the same path as the other databases that can be read with server management studio on the server. Then, tried to get to it through server managements studio and it did not appear. So I tried to attach it. Then I received this error:

C: I have also tried opening the Database, and back up file through Server Management Studio. without success.
D: I also tried Windows and Software update at microsoft update, but no updates were recommended for Version on Server.
I'm surprised this is so hard. My original data base was created in same family of software. 2005 MS SQL Express. I could use some direct help from someone experienced with this. Am I doing it wrong or are the DB versions incompatible.

Does enabling/disabling Data Execution Prevention have a performanceimpact on SQL 2000 or SQL 2005?For SQL best performance - how should I configure for:Processor Scheduling:Programs or Background servicesMemory Usage:Programs or System Cache
I am a bit new to the MSSQL server. In our application, we use so many SQL queries. To imporve the performance, we used the Database enigine Tuning tool to create the indexes. The older version of the application supports MSSQL 2000 also. To re-create these new indexes, I have an issue in running these "CREATE INDEX" commands as the statements generated for index creation are done in MSSQL 2005. The statements include "INCLUDES" keyword which is supported in MSSQL 2005 but not in MSSQL 2000.
Ex:-
CREATE INDEX IND_001_PPM_PA ON PPM_PROCESS_ACTIVITY
Ben writes "I have a sql script that doesn't function very well when it's executed on a SQL 2000 server.

I need to be converted to a script that can be executed on both MSSQL 2000 and MSSQL 2005.
I was wondering if somebody there could help me with this problem?!
I've been tasked to move our production databases on MSSQL 2000 to 2005. I've supported MSSQL since version 6.5 and performed migrations to successor versions.
Current Environment is MSSQL 2000 32-bit with current Service Packs.
I've performed mock migrations on Test servers upgrading all Production instances simultaneously from MSSQL 2000 to 2005 32-bit. The Test environment is identical to Production minus server name, IP etc. Also I have a separate server with MSSQL 2005 installed where I use the DETACH / ATTACH and BACKUP / RESTORE method for migration / acceptance testing. There are approximately 30 databases totaling 70 GB. This has gone as expected and fairly successful. Vendors have been coordinated with to update code and staff for acceptance testing.
I'd prefer going directly to MSSQL 2005 64-bit instead if possible due to memory benefits etc. This is where I'd like some feedback prior to borrowing a 64-bit server for testing.
Upgrade options:
1. Is it better to migrate from MSSQL 2000 32-bit to 2005 64-bit via: a. DETACH / ATTACH b. BACKUP / RESTORE c. Is one method more advantageous relating to the end result? 2. Regarding XP clients, have issues been experienced with the default SQL Server driver or is an alternate recommended for XP clients to connect to a MSSQL 64-bit server databases? 3. If you have performed this migration and have relevant experience please pass them along.
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.'
Hi,I’m having a problem uninstalling SQL Server 2005. I went into add/remove programs,clicked on each of the entries for all of the associated services to remove them,then removed SQL Server 2005, rebooted, and the tasks are still listed in services.There are no entries in add/remove programs.I’m removing SQL Server in order to install Visual Studio first - I’ve still gota problem with the “Package Load Failure” that I posted about last week:http://forums.asp.net/thread/1402873.aspxCan anyone give me a clue as to how I can completely remove SQL Server?I’m running Win 2k SP4.Thanks!
Hi all,Afetr a bad install of sql server 2005 which failed due to WMI problem; something that seems unfixable save a reinstall of windows.I am now left with a part installion of sql server 2005. From add/remove programs clicking 'remove' activates nothing as does change. However the files are there in program files.At start up I get multiple fatal errors etc.Does anyone know how I can unistall SQL server 2005 completely - perhaps from the command line?Or..how could I stop SQL server from trying to start at start up?All help most appreciated.TFM
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.
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?
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.
I'm trying to uninstall sql 2005 CTP, so that I can install the standard version... but I keep on getting a whole range of errors.... I can't uninstall the ctp, and I can't upgrade with the standard version...

If I try to uninstall my SQL Server 2005 I nead to have instaled SqlSupport.msi in my list programs and I don't have it. Then I found it in a folder "...ServersSetup" but it dosen't work. I can't install that program and if it's already instaled I can't see it in my list programs. What can I do?
I have been trying to uninstall SQL Server (Enterprise Edition) from one of our development boxes and the programs bombs out. When I looked in the log file, I see the following error message which is useless needless to say. Has anyone come across this issue? How did you resolve it? Thanks in Advance.
i have a MSSQL 2000 database with about 30 tables in it. On one of those tables i've defined an full text index on an image field. In this table are around 500 records with binary files.
it functioned well for a time but now when i try to upload a file into the table this goes extremely slow (300 KB takes over 3 minutes).
i tried disabling "change tracking" but this didn't help a thing
adding blobs to other tables (without fulltext index on it) still goes fast.
what could be a reason that the uploading goes so slow??
I am trying to uninstall Sql Server 2005 Beta in order to upgrade to 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.
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.

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.
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.
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!
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.
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)?
My SQL Server 2005 Beta has expired and I want to unistall it. When I try, it tells me I need to have .NET framework 2.0 before I can run setup. I do have .NET 2.0. And I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and I still get the error from SQL Server when I try to unsintall. This error is pissing me off and this stupid beta is taking up almost a gig of space. HELP.
