sql server msde : Cannot reinstall MSDE on XP after uninstall it
I have trouble reinstalling MSDE 2000 on a XP machine after uninstalled it. I
did apply SP3a to the previous install of MSDE 2000 on the same XP machine. Some of the component in an application did not work well so I had to uninstall the MSDE 2000 SP3a completely. I removed all folders and even registry entries. I kept getting this message, "Setup failed to configure the server. Refer to the server error logs and setup logs for more information". Unfortunately, those error and setup logs were useless. So, I used the /L*v parameter to generate the setup log but it did not pinpoint why it failed. It always fail at the last 4 seconds install period. I ran the same setup on another XP machine. After uninstalled MSDE, removed folders and registry entries, I was able to reinstall MSDE 2000 again. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you for the reply. First, I looked for those registry entries mentioned
in the article. None of them exists. So, I installed Windows Support Tools for XP on the machine, ran the msizap with GUID, it found nothing. The setup still fails with the same error message. What's next? Thank you for the article though. [quoted text, click to view] "Tony Sebion" wrote:

I found that there isn't uninstalled MSSQLServerADHelper service. I searched in registry and deletet (almost;-) everything which contained MSSQL. That works (at least at my PC). Maybe it'll work at yours too.
Okay...Finally, I got it to reinstall after many tries. Thank you all for
your helps. First, MDAC was messed up. It was sqlsrv32.dll. Because I upgraded my initial MSDE installed to SP3a, that DLL file got upgraded. I replaced that DLL file from a good known XP machine. Then, re-registered all MDAC using MDAC Repair Util. That didn't work. Later, I found out that there were three DLLs missing from the System32 folder: sqlsrv32.rll, SQLWID.DLL & SQLWOA.DLL. I copied them from a known good XP machine. Reinstalled MDAC 2.8 completely. After that, it installed just fine...Thank you. [quoted text, click to view] "Andrea Montanari" wrote:
