Hello,

I have SQL Server 2005 express installed on my Windows 2008 server
I installed SQL Server 2008 express on my machine.
I didn't add the tools - so I donwloaded and installed the tools afterwards.
I accidentally downloaded and installed the SQL express 2008  R2 tools. I realised my mistake so tried to uninstall 2008 R2 (which also seems to have installed 2008 r2 server as well - even though it was just the tools download)
2008 r2 failed to uninstall. So, I tried to uninstall 2008 as well and start from scratch. But the install fails to 2008 as well. The binary files are still there and both still appear in the add/remove programs list.
Should I just re-install 2008 with tools?
Will there be any conflicts if 2008 r2 is still "hanging around"
Thanks
Ronnie
