Re: complete remove of sql server

Thanks Vera - but tried that and it didnt work.

I have not been able to remove analysis services - but I dont know if I need
to do that. I may be able to use it with a clean install of sql 2005 dev
edition.

Do you think that is possible?

I assume that you are trying to (un)install SQL 2005?
This seems to fit your problem:

919945 - Error message when you uninstall SQL Server 2005 or
install SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 1: "The setup has encountered
an unexpected error while Setting Internal Properties. The error
is: Fatal error during installation"

Hi thanks

But I cannot get the installation program to run

I get an error that says"
The setup has encountered an unexpected error while Setting
Internal Properties. The error is : Fatal error during
installation."

So I am struggling to use the components that are suggested.

Hi

I would like to remove sql server from my system in total and
start again with a fresh set of disks.

I tried to remove using add/remove programs but the setup
fails each time.

Is there a way to remove this program in full - i have so
many attempts to install on my system now and I would just
like a fresh install.

thanks for any help or links to websites.

Doug
