I'm in deep s??

Got all excited all the new sql server 2005. Downloaded it, during
installation, it complained about requirement for uninstallation of previous
eval/CTP version. So, I obliged, however, the uninstallation were
incomplete. Now, The Remove Program couldn't uninstall SQL Server 2000
Reporting Service, it asked for a freaking version of .Net Framework.
Couldn't SQL Server 2005 installation package checking all previous
installation and automatically remove all of them?

I don't know what pre-release version you had installed but there is a build
uninstall wizard on the Sept. CTP media that will forcibly remove the
pre-release stuff. There is something similar for pre-release VS 2005 via
download.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the follow-up. Problem resolved. Right after I posted the msg I
knocked myself in the head, what a fool I was. There could be others
experiencing the same problem, posted it and got answered, sure enough,
another thread has info on a patch workaround to clean up the mess. So, I'v
e
now successfully installed sql server 2005.
Another question though, bear with me for not to post it separately,
is there a way to copy a database from Database Service to
Analysis Service?
Thanks.

Sorry, but what I don't know about SSAS is a lot. I suggest you post this
question to the OLAP forum.
Hope this helps.
