SQL Server Install Fails after Uninstalling CyTrack

Problem

After doing a complete uninstall of CyTrack – the new install attempt fails while installing SQL Server

Troubleshooting Steps

 Ensure that there are no active instances of SQL Server in Windows Services.

 If there are active SQL Server instances and there are no entries in Add/Remove Programs section to uninstall it in Windows Control Panel, then follow the following steps to remove that active SQL Server Instance.

 Make sure that the Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files component is installed

 Run the command to uninstall the SQL Server components

At a command prompt, run the following command:

%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\ARPWrapper.exe /Remove

Uninstall the SQL Server components one at a time until all the SQL Server components are uninstalled.

 Uninstall the Microsoft SQL Server Native Client component

If all other steps were successful, uninstall the Microsoft SQL Server Native Client component by using Add or Remove Programs.

 Uninstall the Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files component

If all other steps were successful, uninstall the Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files component by using Add or Remove Programs.

 If there is still an instance of SQL Server showing in Windows Services, run the following command at a command prompt.

sc delete <service_name>

<service_name> should be the name of the service.

 Reboot the system.
