I am having a problem installing MSDE on a NT 4 SP6 workstation. The first
time I tried this it installed fine. As I was testing an installation CD
wanted to retest. I uninstalled it from Remove Programs and tried to re-
install it. At this point it complained that it could not register 3 dlls
(dtspkg, sqldmo). I rebooted the system but on the restart it complained
about various AO DLLs. Several attempts have been made at removing MSDE
and bringing the machine up cleanly. This has been successful but not been
able to successfully re-install MSDE.

Is there a way to ensure MSDE completely uninstalled from NT? Or is there
a clean-up utility?

Can anyone help? Thanks.
