I was having SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition installed on my computer without any problem. Yesterday I have uninstalled the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and shut down my computer. But today when I click on Enterprise Manager shortcut the problem started, a popup has flashed in front of my eyes –

Everything was working well like Query Analyzer etc. I was able to access the database in the asp.net code. Then I have searched a lot about it on Google and after trying many suggestions I have found the solution here –

Thanks to Alfred who has posted the solution in the forum.
The solution is follwing –
Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate the following registry subkey:
** HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\ClientSetup**
Right-click the ClientSetup registry subkey, point to New, and then click String Value.
Rename the registry subkey that you just created SqlPath, and then press ENTER.
Double-click the SqlPath registry subkey, and then type C:\Program ** ** Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools in the Value data box.
Click OK, and then close Registry Editor.
Click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL Server\\80\\Tools\\Binn\\sqlmmc.dll", and then click
OK.
