title: SQL Server 2017 Instance Installation Failure
body: <p>HELP GET RID OF SQL SERVER 2017 INSTANCE !!!</p>
  
  <p>When I attempted to install an instance of SQL Server 2017, the install failed.  Then I attempt to uninstall and the reinstall.  This failed as well.  The reason the uninstalled seemed to fail appeared to be that when I uninstalled from Programs and Features, at the of the uninstall process, a prompt read "ScenarioEngine.exe stopped working."  I have attempted to repair the ScenarioEngine.exe by repairing .net 4.6 with a fixer download (suggested here), but it's not worked.  Before re-installing, I also remove registry entries mentioned for \Microsoft SQL Server\ and I manually remove Program Files directories x64 &amp; x86.  I makes sure cache is cleared with WSReset and browser histories and datafiles cleared.  I've tried everything mentioned and cannot get rid of SQL SERVER 2017 Instance to reinstall a good instance.  There appears to be no remaining crumb of sql server 2017 local db, but clearly there is one ... I also have re-booted after each clean - prior to an attempt to remove.</p>
