Hi,
I have SQL Server 2014 installed on a Windows 10 platform. I'm trying to uninstall it, but when I go through the uninstall I get multiple warning stating "The following error has occurred: SQL Server Setup failed to restore the instance id."
At the end I get a complete with failures. The following features fail
- Database Engine Services
- Data Quality Services
- Full-Text and Semantic Extractions for Search
- SQL Server Replication
- SQL Browser
- SQL Writer
- Setup Support Files
The all show the same error in the Summary.txt. Here is what the Database Engine Services says as an example.
Feature: Database Engine Services
Status: Failed: see logs for details
Reason for failure: An error occurred during the setup process of the feature.
Next Step: Use the following information to resolve the error, and then, try to uninstall this feature again.
Component name: SQL Server Database Engine Services Instance Features

Is there a way I can get SQL Server Uninstalled?
