| I'm trying to uninstall SQL Server Standard 2008 (my sandbox copy) using KB 955499 from my Windows XP 32-bit machine so that I can install SQL Server 2008 R2. Tried 5 times, rebooting between each try, but each time I get the error message:Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SetupThe following error has occurred:Value cannot be null.Parameter name: sddlFormThis error occurs while attempting to uninstall SQL Server 2008 using Add/Remove Programs. Removal Progress is at Performing Windows Installer actions, SqlEngineConfigAction_remove_unconfigrc_Cpu32. SQL Services are all stopped. Also installed are Books Online for SQL 2005 and 2000, and SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer. I've done Google searches and searched Microsoft forums but don't see a solution. Thanks for your help.Nicole |

| Ok do one thing if you have only one default instance then go to start runOr press(windows+r) and type regedit press ctrl+f and find sqlserver delete all registry one by one.Note: If you have only one instance then only you do this. Once you deleted all registry then restart and try to install fresh copy of sqlserver it may be fix your problem.Raghu' S |
