Live Communications Server Unexpectedly Quits After You Remove SQL Server 2000
After you remove Microsoft SQL Server 2000 from your computer, you may experience all the following behaviors:
- Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2003 unexpectedly quits.
- When you try to start Live Communications Server, you receive the following error message:
Live Communications Server Snap-in cannot restart Live Communications Server. Try again. For more information, see Event Viewer. Open the Application node and look for event log messages for this program.
- When you view the application log in Event Viewer, the log contains the following event messages:

- When you try to manually start the Live Communications Server service, you receive the following error message:
Windows could not start the Live Communications Server on Local Computer. For more information, review the system event log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code -1066401781.
This issue occurs because all the following conditions are true:
- You install Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3 on a server.
- You install Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2003 on the same server.
- You remove SQL Server 2000, but you do not restart the computer after you finish the removal.
When you remove SQL Server 2000, the RTC instance of the Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) quits. As a result, the Live Communications Server service stops.
To work around this issue, start the MSSQL$RTC service, and then start the Live Communications Server service. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click Start, click Run, type services.msc in the Open box, and then click OK.
- In the list of services, right-click MSSQL$RTC, and then click Start.
- When the service starts, right-click Live Communications Server, and then click Start.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2003
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition
