| I read on MSDN how to manually uninstall the instance of SQL server 2005 express, however i am not sure that it will remove the service. The reason i need to do this is that an application i have installed SQL Server 2005, and also QPulse5 SQL Server. I have two instances and it is giving me compile issues which i believe is related to having both services. I did add/remove programs and reinstalled just SQL Server 2005 and recieved error message saying that the service failed to start. The whole problem of this occured when we ran DCPromo with SQL installed. After we did we relized you could not promote with SQL Server. I understand that it is not recommended running SQL Server on a DC, however we did not have a choice. I am hoping someone here may have a solution for this. If there is any other information you need just let me know. Thanks |

| If you removed all sql2k5 files and just service remains, you can remove it by modifying registry. Be careful, it's kind of risky. |
