Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with...

| SQL Server 2005 (running side by side with SQL Server 2000). The problem is
with one of my SQL Server 2005 instances.
I suffered a power loss. Now, I can't connect to one of my installed
instances via Enterprise Manager and I can't start the service directly
either via the Services applet. The full error message is:
Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with
(Error getting instance ID from name.). Please uninstall and then re-run
setup to correct this problem.
OK, so how do I go about uninstalling an instance? I don't need to install
the entire product do I? Oh, please, please say no!!!
Thanks for your advice!

| Hmmm - sounds to me your registry is screwed!
You could try this (at your own risk) before you go down the route of
reinstalling.

| Hi Immy,
Are you saying there's no documented procedure for uninstalling an instance?
I'd much rather completely uninstall and reinstall SQL SErver 2005 than mess
around with the Registry. But I'm hoping I won't have to.
Thanks,
Joe Geretz

| The setup program has an option to fix the registry entries for you. Also, uninstalling is like any
application.

| I was unable to uninstall the instance because the uninstall program didn't
show that instance. I searched my registry for all occurrences of the
instance name (stuff showed up like MSSQL$TENX) and deleted them. The
service is gone, no more errors on startup and Enterprise Manager no longer
shows the instance.
Problem solved, thanks for all your advice.
