I am trying to install a second instance on my 2008 R2 server running SQL 2008 R2. During setup, Im getting this error:
Rule "Consistency validation for SQL Server registry keys" failed.
The SQL Server registry keys from a prior installation cannot be modified. To continue, see SQL Server Setup documentation about how to fix registry keys.
Any idea how to fix this? I checked the logs and it stops at this point:
