I have a registry setting called HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SAP_DBTECH-JE from a previous installation. This database instance is gone from the disk. I am trying to remove the registry setting, which is locked, so I can't remove it with REGEDIT.
I attempted to follow the instructions at http://sapdb.2scale.net/moin.cgi/WindowsUninstall First we prove that the DB instance doesn't exist: > dbmcli -d je -u sapdb,myPwd db_stop Error! Connection failed to node (local) for database je: cserver not found Now we try to stop it (nothing is output): > dbmcli -d je -u sapdb,myPwd db_stop Now we try deleting the service every way possible (but note that the services applet doesn't show any such service): > services.exe -r -d je > services.exe -r -d je > services.exe -r -s -d je > services.exe -r -q -d je > dbmcli -d je -u sapdb,myPwd db_drop Error! Connection failed to node (local) for database je: cserver not found >dbmcli -d je -u sapdb,myPwd inst_unreg Error! Connection failed to node (local) for database je: cserver not found Nothing worked. Can't get rid of the DB instance leftovers in the registry. There is no corresponding service. The instructions don't cover this problem. How can we discover which program locked the registry settings, so that they can be released?
