I hope someone can help me. I recently installed SQL 2005 Developer
version, and I thought everything was fine - I could use the SQL server
part of it. However when I tried to use the SSIS tools, it told me that
the installation was incomplete. So I went to add/Remove programs to
see if I could repair it, and next to the SQL Server listing, I only
had a ? (blue info circle with ? inside) and it said that SQL server
was not installed on the computer. But I could still call up SQL Mgmt
studio and it worked just fine. However I really need SSIS working. So
I uninstalled (via Add/Remove programs) all the other SQLServer Items
(books online etc etc), and went back to try and reinstall from my
install CD.

The first error I get (which I got the first time I installed) is that
it can't run splash.hta. I try to run it from the html version but I
get script errors. So I went into the folders and installed using
setup.exe. The installation starts OK, but then it tells me that it is
already installed and that I should use add/remove programs to do
maintenance on it.

So I can't install and I can't uninstall!!

Any suggestions anyone?
