Remove program

**Anilrgowda** · 08-Mar-2007, 09:10 PM

Question: I am trying to remove SQL Server Developer editions. Add and Remove does not help to remove everything. Does MS have a free program to remove the entire program?

Check in the registry...
Start->Run->Regedit
Navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uni nstaller
Perform a Find/Search from there for "SQL" and upon locating it - check the pane on the right for the UninstallString - that should be the command you need...otherwise,
