GGT wants to uninstall SQL 2000 and then reinstall SQL 2000. The following message is displayed:
Figure 1 error message
This problem may occur because the computer system still retains the previous user data on the drive and the installer does not overwrite the previous user data, resulting in configuration server failure. You can try the following method to solve this problem:
(1) Delete the [system drive letter]:/program files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSQL folder;
(2) Clear the remaining files in the following path under the operating system registry (START-> Run-> type regedit to enter the Registry ):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/Microsoft/MSSQLServer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/Microsoft/MSSQLServer
(3) Delete the remaining files in the original installation path of the disk.
In addition, pay attention to the following during installation:
1. Use a user with the system administrator privilege to perform the installation;
2. We recommend that you log out of other applications and disable anti-virus software and firewall before installation;
