I tried to uninstall SQL Server 2008 R2 by doing the maximum that I could remove from Add/Remove Programs in Win 7 HP that was under SQL Server 2008 R2, although the following two did not uninstall:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup (English)
When I tried to do a new install, I got these error messages and cannot move forward:
Rule "Reporting Services Catalog Database File Existence" failed. The Reporting Services catalog database file exists. Select a Reporting Services files-only mode installation.
Rule "Reporting Services Catalog Temporary Database File Existence" failed. The Reporting Services catalog temporary database file exists. Select a Reporting Services files-only mode installation.
Any ideas of how to resolve this?
