Hi

I have been trying to uninstall SQL7 from NT4 SBS however the uninstallation stops midway because of mssearch.exe is in use,

I tryed doing an unattended installation like suggested by Microsoft here:

Q. How do I start an unattended uninstallation?

A. When SQL Server 7.0 is successfully installed, an uninstall script file, Uninst.isu, is created. This file is located in the directory you specified for your program files. To start an unattended uninstallation, run the UnInstallShield executable, Isuninst.exe, and point it at your uninstall script file.

When I do the above I get this message saying: Are you sure you want to completely remove the selected application and all of its components

Yes or No

I select Yes

The uninstall shield starts then it stops and I get the following error: unable to locate the installation log" uninstallation will not continue

how can I force this uninstallation I desperatly need to free space on this server
