Re: cannot start the windows internal database
thanks for the reply.
if i understand you correct all i need to do is uninstall wid and not IIS.
To uninstall Windows Internal Database
1. Open a command shell.
2. Call msiexec with the correct key for the operating system platform.
• On 32-bit platforms: msiexec /x {CEB5780F-1A70-44A9-850F-DE6C4F6AA8FB} callerid=ocsetup.exe
• On 64-bit platforms: msiexec /x {BDD79957-5801-4A2D-B09E-852E7FA64D01} callerid=ocsetup.exe
Important
The removal of the application may not remove the default .mdb and .ldb files, which will cause a subsequent WSUS 3.0 installation to fail. These files can be deleted from the %windir%\SYSMSI\SSEE directory.
Correct? do i also need to uninstall wsus 3.0 from add and remove programs and check the boxes it gives you as items to additionally uninstall.
Re: cannot start the windows internal database
was able to uninstall wsus 3.0 using reg key set to 0 from 1 for uninstall but cannot uninstall windows internal database
error i get is

any thoughts?
Re: cannot start the windows internal database
i can start the service wid now.
i still cannot remove wid.
cant install wsus 3.0 either.
fails at setting internal settings for wid.
is there a solution to this? or should i just bail on this dc.
Re: cannot start the windows internal database
This has resolved my issue. wsus 3.0 installed and wid ok.
Try this from RegEdit:
1) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server
Edit the "InstalledInstances" value and remove "MICROSOFT##SSEE"
2) Remove the "MICROSOFT##SSEE" subkey under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server
3) Remove the "MSSQL.2005" subkey under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server
4) Rename the following folder:
\%Windir%\SYSMSI\SSEE\MSSQL.2005\MSSQL\Data to \%Windir%\SYSMSI\SSEE\MSSQL.2005\MSSQL\Data.old
thanks for your help/
