  • It seems like if you were uninstalling SQL Server.

    Could you provide more details about your environment and what are you trying to do when you got this message?

  • You may reboot your machine to remove related registries and try again.

  • Dio you have 8.3 filename creation disabled? SQL Server 2005 install requires that 8.3 filename creation is switched on, as the path names used to create the service entries all use 8.3 format names.

    If you did have 8.3 filename creation turned off, you will need to delete and re-create all folders used during the SQL install after you turn it on again, in order to gt the 8.3 names created.
