I have a laptop with xp tablet pc edition on it.
i tried to install mssql2k on it twice and it failed both times
i cannot uninstall it because it says the log file is corrupt
i want to install MSDE on there instead since mssql2k failed but but i can't because a the MSDE installer says that there is an existing instance of SQL server and quits.
How do i manualy remove the MSSQL mess?
I would just reload the whole OS but this damn thing has no cd rom drive.
