Hi,
I had earlier installation of microsoft sql server 2005 in my machine. Recently I installed the visual studio 2005 beta which comes with sql express and after going through many hoops(as it kept complaining about the previous installation of beta components) i was able to install it correctly. I was also able to also use visaul studio 2005 server explorer to connect to the SQLEXPRESS and create table etc... Now I wanted to install sql server management express so I downloaded SQLEXPR_ADV from te microsoft's website. During the installation it complained about the older version of SQL server management sutdio installed and hence could not install the sql server management express. By looking at different forums I found following steps to deinstall earlier version but still runs into this issue. I will really appreciate somebody's help....
STPES I FOLLOWED TO REMOVE EARLIER VERSION OF SQL SERVER 2005 MANAGEMENT STUDIO
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click Add or Remove Programs.
In the list of installed programs, click Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and then click Change.
On the Component Selection page, select Workstation components, and then click Next.
Click Next.
On the Change or Remove Instance page, click Change Installed Components.
Expand Client Components, click Management Tools, and then select Entire Feature will be Unavailable. Or just select the entire client components
Click Next.
Click Install.
2) I also tried to use the complete uninstall of visual studio ( By using the tolls
vs_unists_betas.exe) and after that also window uninstall clean up (msiccu2)
and then reinstalling visual studio 2005 beta which would install sql express...But
nothing seems to be able to uninstall the previous version of SQL SERVER 2005
Management studio from my computer and hence I am not able to uninstall the
sql server management express.
