Uninstalling SQL Server 2005 Beta

This is a feedback that I've found on a newsgroup and that I think could be useful for all who have installed SQL Server 2005 (beta) on a production machine (ahi ahi... why not using a Virtual Machine? ). If you try to uninstall SQL Server 2005 beta and after that you try to open your Enterprise Manager for a SQL connection, you could see this error:

SQLDMO has not been registered. Please re-install SQL Server and try again.

To solve this problem, you've to go into C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\ and run regsvr32 sqldmo.dll. The dll will be registered and you've not to cry...

Thank you!

Theres only two things I demand from Software vendors:

1. A smooth insllation of the SW.

2. Once the SW is removed, it should leave NO traces.

Not even MS seems to be able to do this.

Thanks Stefano!

This saved my day too.. In my case it wasn't an uninstall of SQL2005 but something odd with a SQL2000 installation. I think this happened after the machine got removed from one AD domain and added to another one... I was getting the same error message. You fix worked!

Thanks a million!
