Thank you gentlemen. I originally started this as a developers box. I set this up for the developer to work on. He is not available and will be on another project and unable to finish what he started. How would I know if the installation of one of the SQL licenses is being used and what would be the best most thorough way to uninstall all of the SQL installs....? If you prefer I can start another question as this goes beyond the original. Please advise. Thank you.

I pointed to the disk and it let me get past the error. I had created a folder but it would not allow me to install so I do not think that was the best solution. Thank you for your help. I have posted another question for another SQL issue.
