correct this issue: We need to obtain the product GUID from WMI using WMIC so that we can use the MSIEXEC /X {GUID} command to remove the software. Open a command prompt as administrator and type: WMIC PRODUCT LIST to get a list of products and the GUID associated with them. I found using the following command works best: WMIC PRODUCT GET Caption, warning 26003 microsoft sql server 2014 setup support files cannot be uninstalled IdentifyingNumber > c:\info.txt Once you have the GUID of the software you want to uninstall you simply type: MSIEXEC /X {GUID} Software is now uninstalled and you can proceed. *note* the steps provided can be used for any software you are looking to uninstall that is not listed under Add/Remove programs. Just follow the steps as such: Get the product GUID from WMI (Win32_Product class) Find the GUID related to the product or products that the SQL error mentions Run MSIEXEC /X {GUID} for each of the products to uninstall them manually.

2008 R2 Setup (English)Warning 26003. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SetupFollowing products are installed:SQL Server 2008 R2 Common FilesSQL Server 2008 R2 Database Engine SharedSo... how do I delete those? They don't appear in the Windows Programs and Features list!!?? Is there some magic incantation?Googling around, I come across this obvious (sarcasm) straightforward (sarcasm) and fool-proof (sarcasm) way to solve the problem. From a MS support person (who was just trying to be helpful, he's not to blame):If you have already used msizap.exe or msicuu2.exe (which calls msizap) there may be things still left around on your machine, including services, assemblies, registry keys and shortcuts. MSIZap and MSICuu2 should only be used as a last resort after exhausting all other available options. For completeness, these are the steps that I would recommend to try *before* resorting to MSIZap or MSICuu2 (jump below the second horizontal line for cleanup steps after resorting to MSIZap or MSICuu2) Steps to manually remove all of SQL Server 2005 from a machine (Last resort prior to reinstalling the OS) Go to ARP and look for "Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files". If it is there, continue. If it is not there, find your original media and install it by double clicking on Servers\setup\sqlsupport.msi Run "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\ARPWrapper.exe" /Remove and keep uninstalling things until everything is gone. (This is the same tool that gets run from the Add/Remove Control panel, but users may have already deleted the reference to it) If you get an immediate error saying "Registry Enumeration Failed", then you don't have anything to uninstall here. Continue on to step 3 to uninstall redists and SQL Support Files.You will need to uninstall just one item at a time. If you have an instance with more than one server (SQL, AS or RS), setup will fail with the error "The setup has encountered an unexpected error in datastore. The action is RestoreSetupParams". This is expected at this point due to some refcounting issues. You will just need
