I am not able to remove sql server 2008 from my machine.

I installed it in the past as a part of the installation of an application, this installed the runtime of sql server 2008 SP0. But now I cannot uninstall.

I tried to use the setup of SP0 and even of SP2 but it was not able to uninstall, by giving fatal errors when it does the preliminary checks.

This means that the only option I have is format my machine?

I cannot even intall a new instance, something is really corrupted.

Is it a way to remove it manually?
