Honestly, SQL Server is one of the worst constructed and thought up installations I've ever seen - I don't think MSI had anything to do with it.
I've seen some bad installations, but whoever made that one should not be proud of that work.
- anton_gogolev 12y agoLike I said, there are two sides of "badness". The UI and UX is bad and it indeed doesn't have anything to do with the MSI. The "undercovers" are appaling, this time all because of MSI. As a consequence, there's no way you can cleanly uninstall Microsoft SQL Server from the system.
- shadowwolf007 12y agoI'm kinda interested in which pieces are MSI problems. There's a lot of strangeness in msi it generally it tends to work out pretty well unless you're doing weird stuff. I'm not saying you're wrong - just interested!
