SOS - how to uninstall DB2 Express 8.1. on Windows Server 2000

I need to uninstall DB2 Express on a W2K Server as the
evaluation period has expired to reclaim a fair chunk of
disk space.
The program was not in the list of the Windows
Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel,
(but is for Windows XP) nor was there an Uninstall
program as part of DB2 menu tree.

So, I decided to try uninstall it manually by deleting
folders and files and registry entries.

It didn't work. Most of the files and folders could not be
deleted. Got messages like ' so-and-so' is in use/shared'.

Can anyone suggest how I can get it off the W2K Server? OR
point me to a more appropriate forum OR
how to get free assistance from IBM (as they should have
provided an uninstaller in the first place).

Best regards
Ken Resander

Normally the uninstaller is provided but something must have gone wrong
during installation.

Hello, Sorry if this is slightly OT, but I reckon there would be folks here who would know... I have a Windows 2003 Server box, SP4 and .NET 2.0 installed. Trouble is that it also has .NET versions 1.0 and 1.1 installed. I would just ignore them, but occasionally one or two of the web sites on the machine seem to set themselves to the wrong version, and this causes errors. I have no idea why or how this happens, but it does happen...

I've seen many posts and ready articles discussing how changing the membership & roles "provider" in VS .NET is easy, but have yet to see instructions on how to do it. If I already have SQL Server 2000 on a machine and didn't install SQL Server 2005 Express with my VS .NET installation, how do I set up my existing SQL 2000 server to be the membership & roles provider for ASP .NET?
