| Hi All,My 2008 r2 eval copy has expired. I am wanting to uninstall it and install the express version. I've already uninstalled some SQL Server 2008 programs and deleted some directories. When I try to uninstall the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 setup(English) program, this is what I get: Warning 26003: SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup Support Files cannot be uninstalled because the following products are installed:SQL Server 2008 R2 Common FilesSQL Server 2008 R2 Database Engine Shared After clicking OK, I get this:"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable""Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'sqlsupport.msi' in the box below (c:\97c8055e113829e172976f0a9df07e57\1033_ENU_LP\x86\setup\sqlsupport_msi\)Now the other problem is I can't install the 2008 R2 Express version. It goes through the a few things then just sits there. How hosed am I? Any help would be appreciated. |
