SQL 2005 troubles

Posted: 07-05-2006, 10:14 PM
1. I cant seem to install enough of SQL 2005 to even an option to update to
SP1 required for it to work. Windows Update says I have no update so I am
unclear as to how I get the SP1 required to have SQL 2005 64bit edition up
and running!

2. When and if I ever get SQL 2005 running what is a safe way to "uninstall"
my old version which is sitting in windows.old directory. As intergrated as
SQL is I fear removing the XP version might not be as easy as just deleteing
the directory.

3. Should this whole thing proove to be a greek tradegy how do I uninstall
the 64bit version that is currently on Vista becuase there is no uninstall
shortcut that I can tell.

I am familar with programs and how sometimes a simple uninstall is nothing
more then a delete of a directory I fear that for SQL 2005 its far more
intergrated then this.

Thanks

To my knowledge nothing in windows.old will affect the system.
