You have to search through the file for SQL Server and use the same command as shown above to Uninstall SQL Server. The output file will have all the Windows components and not only SQL Server. If you are not comfortable with PowerShell or facing issues, then you can use command prompt to use the msiinv tool as shown below: Command to execute is as follows: msiinv.exe -p > D:\msiinv\msiinv_result1.txt msiexec /x "" This will ask for final confirmation: You can find out the components you want to remove and note the product code from the file.Įxecute the below command in PowerShell to uninstall the component. If the execution is successful it will go to the prompt again as shown below: \msiinv.exe -s | Select-String "SQL Server" -Context 1,1 > D:\msiinv\msiinv_result1.txt This will create the out put file with all the GUID of the SQL Components.

And this is because of the left behind components. But when you try to reinstall, it fails again.

In other words what to do if the regular uninstall process from Control Panel fails.Įven more, sometimes the control panel shows that the SQL component has been uninstalled.
