Uninstall/Reinstall of MSDE

Go to Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs and remove the program called Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine.

Uninstall doesn’t remove all files which can cause problems when reinstalling MSDE, you may see an error like “Setup failed to configure the server.” Therefore you may want to follow these manual steps after uninstalling MSDE:

  • Delete LicenseWatch data files LicenseWatchPlatinum.ldf and LicenseWatchPlatinum.mdf
  • Delete the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server if it exists
