|||Hello,
I have seen the exact same problem on both Windows XP PRO and a Windows 2003
Server.
MSDE2000 Release A will not always install again after it has been
un-installed. I have never seen this problem on my own development machine,
only on customers machines installing our product!
So my guess is that on my machine where ex. Visual Studio .NET is installed
something is eliminating the problem... but NOT on a standard Windows XP PRO
or Windoes 2003 Server!
My question: Is there a solution to the problem or not ?
I can see a lot of people have had the same problem...
Best regards

uninstalling MSDE (often) does non properly clear MSDE related file system
and registry entries, and this often confuses users... a proper (and manual)
clean up is required, as indicated in

none that I'm aware of... but, for what is worth, I never had this kind of
problems on Win2k, XP (rtm/sp1/sp2) and Win2003 (rtm/sp1)

|||Hi Andrea,
Thank you for your reply. I guess we have to make a custom application to
fix the problem. It's just not easy when I can't reproduce the problem on my
own machine.

|||Hi,
For your information:
I have found a way to reproduce the MSDE re-installation problem.
If the value InstanceComponentSet.1 exist in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Component Set MSDE
will NOT install.
To make the MSDE install simply delete InstanceComponentSet.1 and everything
seems to work fine again.
Best regards

it's documented...

point 3..
3. If the following registry key points to the MSDE 2000 instance
ProductCode, remove the value InstanceComponentSet.x. For example,
InstanceComponentSet.1 has a value that matches the ProductCode of
Sqlrun01.msi:
