Hi. Ive used SQL server 2008 express before almost a year and I needed to remove but couldn't do it properly - I get this :
"Warning 26003. MS Server 2008 R2 Setup Support Files cannot be uninstalled because the following products are installed:
SQL Server 2008 R2 Common Files
SQL Server 2008 R2 Database Engine Shared"
Now I need to install it again. When I go through the installation process, I get to the point where it installs the setup files - the screen after the terms of license. When I click next - the bar loads up and the screen disappears and nothing happens. Its not in the start menu either. Here is the log summary :
