Have you tried to use the install disk to Uninstall SQL Server? That is an option on the install disk.
-SQLBill RE: Trying to get rid of SQL 2000 developer edition Gareth1978 (IS/IT--Management)(OP)6 Aug 04 03:10When using either add/remove programmes or using the install CD to remove I get.
"Unable to locate the installation log file c:\programe files\MS SQL server\80\tools\uninst.isu Uninstallation will not continue.
There is however such a file in the specified location.

Maybe you have a corrupt file and the repair option can fix it.

I see your thread is from 2004, please tell me you finally got SQL Server uninstalled!
The reason for responding to your thread is, I am having the same error message while uninstalling SQL Server Personal Edition. What did you finally do to get it uninstalled? I have tried the add/remove programs from control panel, I still get the error. And I do not have the SQL Server Install disk.
Any ideas?

Enterprise Edition
Standard Edition
Developer Edition
MSDE (Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Edition)
Personal Edition
You CAN NOT install Enterprise or Standard Editions on Windows XP. Developer version can not be installed on Production systems (that's why it's called Developer Edition).
-SQLBill RE: error installing sql server 2000 on XP SP2 stef315 (MIS)20 Oct 04 14:38Did you by chance set any sharing on your drive using NTFS permissions? Make sure the system account has full access to the drive. RE: error installing sql server 2000 on XP SP2 AndyApp (Programmer)(OP)21 Oct 04 04:47it's enterprise edition. that would explain why it isn't working. So which version can I install on XP then? Just Personal and MSDE? What about SQL 7 is it the same with that?
I'm not aware of setting any sharing on my drive, the opposite if anything. "Life is like a Ferrari, it goes to fast.

If you have a license for Enterprise or Standard, you can use the Personal edition that comes with those.
Developer is just for developing databases and can not be used for a production database.
Check Microsoft's SQL Server web site for more information on using the various editions.

I have come across three old databases sitting on SQL Server 2000 which I need to move to 2012. I believe the standard approach is to restore into a 2005 or 2008 instance, update, re-export and finally restore into 2012.
However these will not necessarily bring over other things like users, permissions, roles, etc. And not everything will create your objects in the right dependency order. So they are more work and error-prone. In my experience it would be worthwhile to just put up an intermediate instance temporarily and then do two backup+restore operations - which will be easier, faster, and less error-prone than any of the above methods.
If your databases are smaller than 10GB, you can install a copy of Express (free) in a few minutes, and use that. You can download 2008 R2 Express here. I don't think there are any Enterprise features in 2000 around database structure etc. that would block that upgrade (a bigger concern for more modern versions).
Or you can get away with using an Evaluation Edition, which is amazingly still being offered for download for older versions (e.g. I found 2008 here), however I'm on a phone so was not able to confirm the download for that version still works.
You say your database only contains a few tables and views. Why not export the tables and views schema as SQL create statements and run them on your target database? You could then also export the actual data into something like CSV format and import them into the target database, or perhaps even write something in C#/C++/etc to export/import the actual data.
What you can do is install a temporary instance of 2005 OR 2008 oR 2008R2, restore the 2000 database here. Once done you can now upgrade from installed instance by taking the backup of database from that instance and restoring onto sql server 2012.
You say you "have come across three old databases sitting on SQL Server 2000" which leads me to believe you only need the data. I would guess that if they were being run for a purpose, you would know. If this is the case, ignore all questions of users, security, etc.
So the first step to migrate from SQL Server 2000 to one of those version, I found one of the Upgrade Advisor for SQL Server 2008 in the following link. To make sure everything will work smoothly before starting the restoration process, you need to run the application. Then "Launch Upgrade Advisor Analysis Wizard" and follow the wizard steps.
After you got the report, you need to restore the database on the target SQL Server 2005 SP4 or SQL Server 2008 SP2 or SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 and run compatibility level on it (you can find it on the database option). For SQL Server logins please follow the instruction in the following link.
First I agree you should not migrate from 2000 to 2012 directly. I think that process has been covered well. I wanted to suggest you find out for sure if anyone is using the databases and what they are using them for. It may be that they are not being used. It happens and if that is the case then you have no worries. It might be that adding 2 or 3 tables and the data (for 2000 use bcp if you want to get the data out for an individual table its simple and reliable) to an existing 2012 database would serve the needs of the users. If you do that then create the new tables in a 2012 database and bcp out the data you need to csv you can bcp it back in if you want. If you have to migrate more than a table or two then the simplest and safest and best way is to do the two step migration. Don't forget to take a backup in the 2000 version before you do anything.

When you create a report server database, not all editions of SQL Server can be used to host the database. The following table shows you which editions of the Database Engine you can use for specific editions of SQL Server Reporting Services.
The following software client applications are available on the Microsoft Download Center. They help you create business intelligence documents that run on a SQL Server instance. When you host these documents in a server environment, use an edition of SQL Server that supports that document type. The following table identifies which SQL Server edition contains the server features required to host the documents created in these client applications.
Often people in newsgroups ask about some comparison of Microsoft
SQL Server and Microsoft Access. In this article, I compare Microsoft
SQL Server 2000 with Microsoft Access 2000 regarding hardware and
software requirements, price, features and products limits.
Microsoft Access 2000 is included in the Professional and Developer
Editions of Microsoft Office 2000, but can be purchased separately
also. If you install Access 2000 with other Office 2000 products,
the hardware requirement can be increased in comparison with the
single Access 2000 installation.
