help with SQL 2005 Express!!!! cant remove instance (add/remove no longer lists it but the instance still lists in services)

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,


.
