Thanks Jeremy.
Your response prompted me to look a little more closely to a TechNet
bulletin
concerning the 1058 on SQL Server installation which basically said to
enable
the SQL Service through the Services applet of Control Panel (which was
impossible because SQLServer had been removed) or alternatively
as below:
You can also enable the SQL Service by setting the following registry key
value to zero (0):
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ROOT\Legacy_MSSQLServer
I noticed that the 0000 subkey under Legacy_MSSQLServer had a value entry
called CSConfigFlags set to 1. I zeroed it out, tried to re-install, and
everything
ran fine. This install was done after removing SQLServer, so maybe
something
went wrong during the removal, leaving it such that the service was
disabled.
