Hi all,

Im actually experiencing the same problem. im running a win2k dc which
on it i had installed ScanRouterV2 (scanning software for a ricoh
photocopier) I uninstalled this and Msde wasnt uninstalled properly. I
cannot install msde again as install always rolls back, and i also cant
install back up exec 9.1 because msde isn't installed. ive tied to
manually uninstall msde but many of the registry keys which i should
have just are not there.
Any help would be muchly appreciated.
