Hi. Before I continue uninstalling things to overcome a data provider error I'm getting in vs2010, pls help me to understand what I should do about the remnants you see below under Notes. These remained after I followed these steps to uninstall 2012.
- Stopping sql full text filter daemon,engine,server agent,ssas,ssis,ssrs, vss writer (server browser was already disabled)
- Uninstalling sql server browser for sql server 2012 (got a warning about other products depending on it but proceeded anyway)
- Using admin tools->computer mgt->local users and groups, saw one group called sqlservermsasusers$machine name$mssqlserver and deleted it. Seems to be the only grp specifically related to sql server. Somehow related to being assigned the login acct for associated instance of ssas sql 2012 ssas according to description.
- Uninstalled ms sql server 2012 64 - a variety of prompts follow basically asking what you want uninstalled and what you don’t. I don’t see .net framework in the list. Nor do I see vs 2010. I chose all.
Notes:
seeing lots of negative comments about uninstalling vs2010 at http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2010uninstall
after uninstalling sql server, getting out and coming back into progs and features, I still see2008 r2 mgt objects, 2012 data tier app framework, 2012 management objects, 2012 management objects x64, 2012 native client, 2012 t-sql language service, ms sql data tools – database projects – web installer entry point, ms sql server clr types, ms clr types for sql server 2012.
