Integration services would not uninstall

  • Hi,

    I was trying to uninstall Integration Services from one of my servers, but it would fail with the following error:

    Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (64-bit) - Update 'Service Pack 2 for SQL Server Integration Services 2005 (64-bit) ENU (KB921896)' could not be removed.

    I could not install SP3 due to the same error.

    Any ideas on how can I force the uninstall?

    Thanks.

  • Ok, the problem got solved by setting the following registry keys (for Service Pack 2 and the hotfix):

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\<Product Code>\Patches\<Patch Code>

    MSI3 1

    Patch Type 0

    State 2

    Uninstallable 1

  • Please could you explain how it works.

    The data for the 'Uninstallable' is always 0 in the REGISTRY.

    What was your previous (default) value for it and what was the value give when you fixed it.

    i think roust_m made it Uninstallable = 1. then did the uninstallation.

  • I could uninstall the Integration Services without changing the data value from 0 to 1.

    I'm still confused.

    In my case I had a problem uninstalling IS or upgrading it to SP3 because some SP2 installation files had been deleted, so it was not a standard situation. The registry changes helped to overcome the issue. In normal circumstances you should be able to uninstall IS without any registry updates.

    Hope this helps.
