Greetings:
I have been trying to remove the OBCM with little success. I realized,
after it was too late, due to poor documentation, that it actually installs
a copy of MSDE on your local station, and really do not want it running on
my workstation, and secondly, if I were to use a tool like that, I would
centralize it on another box for all my Outlook users. I am not happy with
BCM, and want it off my system, but have been unable to do so.
Whenever I try to uninstall the program using the Add/Remove Programs
applet, the process starts, and then after about a minute makes the
following complaint before rolling back the operation:
"An error has occurred unregistering this installation of SQL Server Desktop
Engine with MDAC."
Can anyone provide some assistance to help me remove the application, the
MSDE, and any other registry remnants? (I could not believe how many
changes BCM made to my registry, and I am definitely kicking myself for not
doing a test deployment on another box first).
Thanks in advance for anyone assistance,
