installing mssql problem

i have a problem installing mssql.. i'm stock in this place

Run as Administrator maybe

i already but its still the same

Have you installed MSSQL before? Or is this your 2nd/3rd/+ installation?

If it is, then you have to uninstall MSSQL completely.

i think i've install mssql before.. i already unintalled all mssql program named in my control panel..so i guessi already uninstalled it

Well, simply uninstalling it from your control panel would not help, even if you uninstalled it already from there, there would be still files left in the folder where it was installed, also check your regedit or some other instances that has data on your previous installation.

Best advice i can give you (and what i mostly do) is reinstalling windows completely. MSSQL puts itself in the core and gives problems by reinstalling. I think MSSQL is made out of the idea of servers; you do not delete a service you deliver within a network. Once installed it should stay that way, since you can just create or remove instances. It installs good only once.
