SQL Server 2008 R2 installation fails
Installation wizard says 2005 tools should be uninstalled even after uninstalling all 2005 components
Installation wizard says 2005 tools should be uninstalled even after uninstalling all 2005 components
This is due to some add-ons installed for SQL Server
2005.
Here is the solution I found somewhere I don't remember: (Thanks to the author and I am sharing further)
- run Regedit
- Check HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\ShellSEM
- If it exists, rename "ShellSEM" to anything
- Run SQL server 2008 installation again
