Author How to remove MSDE manually?

Please help me to clean a Windows 2000 Pro instance which is "dirty"
with the MSDE 7.0 and/or/both MSDE 8.0 previously incorrect
installed/removed.

I have a software product installation containing MSDE 7.0. When I tried
to install MSDE 7.0 I got an error "You have installed MSDE".

Frankly speaking I think that the surest way to do this is reinstallation of
OS. I am afraid that manual removal would take more time then reinstallation
of OS and all additional software.

can't you just disable the service and kill all the files?

It will leave a lot of trash in registry and next attempt to install MSDE
may be not sucessful.
