Well, I was able to get things to finally install using the information from my previous post and using a named instance (different from the default instance I used previously). So, while I’d still like to track down the keys that define an installation instance with enough detail to remove them, I think I’ve gotten close enough that others should be able to use this as a template to avoid an OS re-install.<\/p>\n
I’d like to extend a HUGE thank you to the Microsoft SQL Server Setup Dev Team who spent time looking at this problem and providing a workaround for me. Please accept my gratitude.<\/p>\n
I am sure that they are hard at work getting setup ready to RTM, which will include problems like the one I’ve seen. <\/p>\n
So, please post up if you have other questions about what I did – I’ll answer them if I can.<\/p>\n
Thanks,<\/p>\n
