Thanks Eric for posting that.

When that situation arose in the past for me I was in exactly the same
situation as Eric. I applied that exact procedure you just mentioned and
still companyweb did not reinstall properly. Can you recommend what you do
in the situation where you have uninstalled, deleted registry, renamed
database, reinstalled, all a long having had patch 832880 installed. - One
thing I did notice is that the registry keys were not recreated -

In the situation I was in I thought it was a problems with the install of
the patch and tried uninstalling and then reinstalling it. Don't try this
because that patch would not reinstall after having been uninstalled. In any
event Eric and Curt, I know that you can go through this whole procedure and
still not have a working company web. We actually took an image of that
original box and worked on solving that problem for quite some time in our
lab. Although we eventually did find some ways to get it running we
eventually felt it was better to recommend a reinstall in that situation.
Unless you have additional information Eric, I would recommend the same to
Curt.

Curt, if you do go down the path recommended by Eric please note if the
registry entries are recreated, if the database folder is recreated and if
contents exist in the folder. It would be good to have you feedback on the
results of you following this procedure. Also, do you by chance happen to be
using the MSDN version of the product which came out in May 2004?
