Bad un-install of SQL Server 2005 Tools Express Edition CTP

I have used the tool at this URL

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/uninstall/#Tool

and *cannot* get SQL Server 2005 Tools Express Edition CTP to uninstall. I get the following dialog box:

"The setup has encountered an unexpected error in datastore. The action is Write_CommitFlag. The error is:Unable to write property into cache flagCommit Unable to write property into cache: "flagCommit" XmlRW Error: Failure loading xmlrw.dll CheckAllProcedures() returned 2."

Any ideas as to how I can work around this ?

Just dug this out of forums, and I believe it fixed my issues. Reposting for everyone's benefit.

1.Run 'SQL Server 2005 Tools Express Edition' setup with -x from command prompt this will extract all setup files into a folder.

2. search a help file in that folder and go to ‘command line ‘ help topic, you can run that command(s) from command prompt.

BackupIoRequest::WaitForIoCompletion failure when restoring database

I have MS SQL 200 Server Developer Edition Installed from MSDN collection. (New installation with service pack 2). When I try to restore 7GB or bigger database, following error occurs in eventlog:

Source: MSSQLSERVER
Category: (6)
ID: 18210
Date: 11.9.2007
Time: 14:50:09
Description:
BackupIoRequest::WaitForIoCompletion: write failure on backup device ''. Operating system error 1450(here is message in local language like "here is no resources to complete requested service").

But I am not writting to backup device, I am restoring. Thank for any helpful answer.

Not sure about the cause of the error.. Check if its related to this KB : http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;304101
