    Uninstallation is straight forward. For reinstallation make sure you follow the steps in the relevant SF guide for SQL.

    thanks Riaan,

    I have reviewed the admin guide, but not mention SQL uninstall process. Someone help me for this issue with proper steps

    Uninstallation involves going to control panel and uninstalling. Thats it. Its the reinstallation that is important.
