I am trying to uninstall a single SQL Server named instance on a machine that apparently has too many of them. When I try to uninstall I get the following error
cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Release
Setup.exe /Action=Uninstall /Q /FEATURES=SQL /INSTANCENAME=BANDOL
Overall summary:

Which basically means that even though I am trying to uninstall the instance, SQL Server setup thinks I'm trying to add one.
