SQL Server Service Manager

2002-10-30, 9:23 am

I have a machine that used to have SQL Server and/or SQL
Server Analysis Services installed on it.

The folders containing the installed software were
accidentally deleted, however there are still some stray
services installed and running.

I get the following error message when the machine boots
up: "The specified service does not exist as an installed
service."

Is there any way to remedy this situation? Unfortunately,
there is no installed software, so there is no Uninstall
utility.

Please help, this happens upon every bootup, and in my use
of this machine, I have to boot the machine quite
frequently.

Thanks very much.

One crude method is to clean up the registry. You can search for MSSQL
strings in the registry, then delete those keys. (Please take a backup of ur
registry before proceeding.)
Secondly you can try reinstalling sql server and then uninstalling. (this
method is much better than the one above)
