Hi all,
I'm having trouble removing SSRS from a Win 2003 x64 Server. I have searched the forums here and tried different suggestions but to no avail. The problem: I go to Add/Remove Programs and choose to change SQL Server, I select the 3-4 options required to remove Reporting Services and when I get to the screen that has the sub-heading 'The selected components are being configured' nothing happens. I just get a Next button but no other feedback whatsoever and SSRS still resides on the server.
It might be worth mentioning that during the change installation wizard I get a warning that 64 bit SSRS cannot be run when ASP.NET is running in 32 bit mode. This is in fact the reason I am uninstalling SSRS, but I do not know if this has any bearing on being able to remove SSRS.
Any ideas as to what I can do to remove this?
Regards,
Stephen.
Sometimes I enjoy giving obvious answers for kicks. I have a feeling this isn't the answer to your problem, but at least you got a response.
Why are you clicking change in Add/Remove Programs? Shouldn't you be clicking the remove button? And if you are removing SSRS from the server, why not just remove SQL Server completely?
|||Thanks for the reply ??€?§Q?. Unfortunately I cannot remove SQL Server as this is a production server and SQL Server is host to 10 live DBs. The reason I am using Add/Remove programs is SSRS is a feature of the SQL Server 2005 installation so I am using the installation wizard that is activated from Add/Remove programs to try to remove SSRS from the SQL Server installation.

|||I managed to figure it out. Apparently the ASP.NET version warning was important. I set the used the adsutil admin script to set Enable32BitAppOnWin64 to false and then I was able to uninstall it. I then set Enable32BitAppOnWin64 to true and installed the 32 bit version.
