    Same story as in this note stream, ie ending up with a non funtioning
    installation.
    
    My personal solution for this was the following:
    
    	I looked at the registry information on another machine where
    	SQL server was functioning OK.
    	
    	I manually entered most of the text variables which seems to make
    	sence :-).
    	
    	This made SQLServer SETUP belive that there was a 'reall' version
    	installed on the computer. (ha ha) As a result I was able to 
    	use the 'uninstal SQL Server' option in the setup menu, to
    	uninstal the product.
    	After that I rebooted the PC and installed SQL-server from the CD
    	and it worked. (knock knock)
    
    	Now, how do I justify the hours I spent on doing this 
    	stupid work :-)
    
    	Fwiw,
    
    	Stefan

    Howdy Stefan.....
    
    Something worth doing when you get setup problems.
    
    Go to a Dos prompt and run setup as follows
    
    >setup /?
    
    You will get an interesting screen which will show you the options
    you can use with setup /
    
    ....in your case a >setup /t  may indeed have helped -)
          (rebuilds your registery stuff)
