Hi All,
I am new to SQL Server.
I have installed VS2012 trial version. Due to some other reasons i have uninstalled VS2012 and installed again.
I tried to create a database from Server Eplorer in VS but there is no server instance is available. While installing i have chosen to install SQL Server.
But, it is not showing in drop menu while creating database.
I checked serivices, SQL and Agent services are not running giving error message 1067 and 1068 when i try to start them.
I have downloaded SQL Express edition and tried to install newly. but, getting error message that Instance ID is already in use.
Even i have tried to installed adding to existing instance of SQLEXPRESS. still not working.
I fed up with trying all options. I physically deleted all the folders from Program Files and tried to install new SQLEXPRESS.
but, still getting the same error message "Instance id in use".
When i run Discovery Report. it showing two instance ids as shown below.
Product | Instance | Instance ID | Feature | Language | Edition | Version | Clustered |
Sql Server 2008 | SQLEXPRESS | MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS | Database Engine Services | 1033 | Express Edition | 10.1.2531.0 | No |
Sql Server 2008 | SQLEXPRESS | MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS | SQL Server Replication | 1033 | Express Edition | 10.1.2531.0 | No |
Can someone guide me that how i can completely delete all the information to SQL Server and install freshly?
Thanks,
Ramana
