behind by a previous uninstall ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Aaron StebnerDecember 8, 200535 0 0 0 I have heard from a few customers who have tried to uninstall and https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/astebner/2005/12/08/how-to-clean-up-a-sql-2005-instance-name-left-behind-by-a-previous-uninstall/ re-install SQL 2005 and have run into errors with both the uninstall and http://superuser.com/questions/610664/cannot-uninstall-sql-server-2005-no-matter-what-i-do the re-install. I have already described the most common uninstall error and a suggested workaround in this previous blog post(an error reading property "Installids" from the cache and/or an error writing property "flagCommit" to the cache). I wanted to address one of the most commonSQL Expressinstall errors I have seen - a duplicate sql 2005 instance name error that causes SQL setup to fail and rollback. It is pretty easy to tell if you are running into this error if you launch SQL setup directly and step through the SQL setup UI. However, if you are installing SQL Express as a part of Visual Studio 2005, setup runs in silent mode and you will only see a generic error bubbled up remove sql 2005 from Visual Studio setup indicating that SQL Express failed to install. VS 2005 configures SQL Express with an instance name of SQLEXPRESS when it runs SQL setup in silent mode. If you previously had SQL Express installed and try to uninstall it but something goes wrong with uninstall, you may end up with an orphaned instance name on your system, and then re-installing SQL Express can fail. In this case, the verbose setup log file for SQL Express will show an error that looks like the following: MSI (s) (AC!38) [00:01:41:056]: Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition -- Error 28086. An instance with the same name is already installed on this computer. To proceed with SQL Server Setup, provide a unique instance name. Error 28086. An instance with the same name is already installed on this computer. To proceed with SQL Server Setup, provide a unique instance name. If you are running into an error installing SQL Express as a part of Visual Studio 2005 setup, you can check in the SQL Express log files (located at %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG). If you are receiving an error about the instance name not being unique, you canmanual

Downloaded msiinv.exe and generated the text file. From this I read: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client Product code: {79BF7CB8-1E09-489F-9547-DB3EE8EA3F16} I then run: C:\>msiexec /x {79BF7CB8-1E09-489F-9547-DB3EE8EA3F16} I get: The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable Use source: e:\8b67f1db04e16917dc9e5e42\setup\ And yes, e:\ is the DVD drive on this server. But since SQL 2005 was installed, the server has been colocated, and now runs in a server room 2 hrs drive from where I am located. And I am not even sure I have the DVD anymore. Why can't I just get the darn thing uninstalled, without it requiring the optical media I used 7 years ago?? I am UN-installing, not installing. I want to install SQL Server 2008. Will the setup for this offer to remove a previous version? Space is limited - the machine was purchased in 2006, small hard drives. And from what I have read, the advice is to remove 2005 before 2008 is installed. Any advice would be much appreciated! sql-server share|improve this question edited Jan 28 at 23:39 techraf 3,22191327 asked Jun 21 '13 at 23:27 ingvarius 412 migrated from stackoverflow.com Jun 22 '13 at 0:30 This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers. Did you try the techniques here? It was written for 2008 R2 but you should still be able to remove the instance and the space-taking features. For certain MSIs that still fail (like native client), don't worry about them - they'll get replaced by the 2008 installer. Why 2008, by the way? You like starting "new" with a 5-year o
