Somehow, I created a situation where Management Studio could not connect to reporting services. Being unable to diagnose why, I decided to uninstall and reinstall. I had installed everything. After running about 10 uninstalls, I went to C:/Program Files/ and blasted the whole Microsoft SQL Server tree. I went to the registry and did the same thing in HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Microsoft SQL Server.
I rebooted. The error message: An instance with the same name is already installed on this computer. I'm guessing the setup program detected MSSQLSERVER in some registry key, and not another instance, but if I knew which one, I wouldn't be posting to this forum.
It may be that Control Panel|Administrative Tools|Services has an SQL Server(InstanceName) entry.
