Hmm, if the directory exists with the exact same name as in the error message and the service
account indeed has permissions, then you seem to have some serious problem with the installation. I
know you can get some strange errors with compressed drives...

In what way doesn't the uninstall work? Error messages? I know that there is a KB article on how to
manually uninstall 2000, perhaps there is one for 2005 as well?
