Error Updating Installed Files

Well I need to know HOW TO REMOVE MANUALLY every pieace of the Database Services for my SQL Server Express CTP previous installation because the final release won't let me update this Database Services, any suggestion besides removing manually the services? thank you all

You should be able to remove the CTP from the Add/Remove Programs window, have you tried that? Add/Remove is the only way to uninstall SQL Server.

yes I removed it first that way but the same problem, I googled a bit and I found that removing the whole directory I could solve this and I did it also deleted some registry keys that I dont remember which one ups anyway I guess the problem was the SQL Server directory thanks

Good to hear you've gotten it figured out, thanks for posting back to the forum.

Hi

When I tried to install the SQL Server 2005 version I got the following error

The setup has encountered an unexpected error while Updating Installed Files. The error is: Fatal error during installation.

Can you please let me know how did you resolved this error.

Funny thing is I have nothing installed on the box except IIS(Internet Information Services) still getting this error. When I google it looks like all the people who face this error because they have beta installations on their boxes.

Thanks in Advance. Your reply may helps me a lot.

Error to manually add subscription to an article

When trying to add an article back to an existing publication thats active
in transactional replication I get the following error
Server: Msg 14100, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addsubscription, Line 240
Specify all articles when subscribing to a publication using concurrent
snapshot processing.
Apparently concurrent snapshot is enabled and when I did issue the
sp_addsubscription and specified the @.article parameter with the table name
, it didnt like it and threw the above error..
It wanted 'all' .. and I was afraid it would do some reinitializing,etc..
Just curious to know why we need that 'all'.. Seems kinda buggy
Interesting. I remember seeing this on Vyas's blog:
http://vyaskn.tripod.com/sqlblog/. He didn't report a solution and I'll also
take a look.

|||I just substituted all and it worked. It did take care of just the
respective articles.. Thank God..
With that Im thinking, should we just use all even if we dont have
concurrent snapshot enabled . Will it just take care of just those articles
we want to add manually. I'll try it out and let u know
