Can't uninstall or install Project Server

[Doug R]

Hello,

I have a bit of a problem. I botched an origional install of Project Server
2003 on a Server 2003 machine. After realizing I had made several mistakes I
tried to clean up my mess by uninstalling everything so I could get a clean
start. During the process I must have done something out of order since now
I can't uninstall or install Project Server. Each time I do so it
automaticly goes into uninstall mode and then gives me the following message;

"Installation ended prematurely because of an error."

Does anyone know how I can work around this problem short of completely
redoing the OS?

Thanks,
Doug

You can use the MS Clean up utility here at
http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2.exe

to remove all traces of the install from Windows Installer. Then, next time
u run setup, it will think Project isnt already on the machine.

I got myself in the same situation, and just found this solution.


Regards


Andrew
