Hello Good People,<br />
<br />
I have a predicament, in that I am unable to uninstall Microsoft Project Server 2003 from my Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 server.<br />
<br />
Using Add/Remove Programs I get the same error:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Product: Microsoft Office Project Server 2003 -- Removal failed.<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Event ID: 11725<br />
<br />
I've searched through EE and trying tricks such as finding the Uninstall string in Registry (which doesn't exist), I can't seem to repair or reinstall the original software possibly due to service packs, so now I'm left with the dilema of manually removing the software by hacking it out of registry.<br />
<br />
Before I attempt such a brutal task, is there anyone who has encountered anything like this before and have a safer solution for removing Project Server?<br />
<br />
Many Thanks<br />
<br />
Andy

Uninstall Project Server 2003

Project management software has the capacity to help plan, organize, and manage resource tools and develop resource estimates. Depending on the sophistication of the software, it can manage estimation and planning, scheduling, cost control and budget management, resource allocation, collaboration software, communication, decision-making, quality management and documentation or administration systems.

Project Management Software

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
