I am trying to start the SQL Server service and I get "system cannot
find the specified file". Any help is appreciated? Thank you.
Specs: Windows XP Home SP1/MDAC 2.8/File and Printer sharing
enabled/Admin rights
1. sql is stopped, when tries to start it gets "your installation is
either corrupt or has been tampered with"
2. Uninstall SQL Server 2000 SP3A
3. Removed Reg Keys:
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQL Redist
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSSQLServer
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SQLServerAgent
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSSQLServerADHelper
4. Restarted PC
5. Reinstalled SQL Server 2000 SP3A
6. When I try to start the service, it says "system cannot find the
file specified"
