That is astonishing system: once installed it is hard to uninstall!
Software used:
- W7-32bit: uac off
- mssql2008 express with tools: mixed authentication, however SA user not working
UPD: SA SQL user in newer axtrax non-ng installation has different password, which is reflected in docs. See readme file included in axtrax download package.
- axtrax 1.0.4.25
Imagine axtrax already installed, then it should contain sql2005. During uninstall axtrax ALWAYS asks for sa authentication even if it was not selected during install.
I found following workaround, which cannot be used as official method though.
- stop sql services
- Uninstall ms sql including Instance
- delete or rename program files\microsoft sql server
- delete or rename program files\rosslare
- open regedit and delete all values that include Rosslare and Axtrax. This step should be very carefully thought before deleting, because it is necessary to delete some keys not only values.
- reboot
- install mssql2008
- install axtrax
