| Nothing is running on this cluster server .We migrated this instance to another clustered server.I checked in add/remove programs and i didn't find the sql server and i checked the services ,nothing is there regarding SQL .Im thinking that some body might uninstall from add/remove programs!! |

| No, there is definitely a service running otherwise you wouldn't get this error, maybe dtc or mssearch? What files still exist in the directory as it ashould have deleted most of them? |
