Hello,
One of our lovely NA's decided to remove IIS and the reinstall it while RS was installed before trying to uninstall RS. So RS broke. We then tried to uninstall RS to start over and get this error:
The setup failed to read IIsMimeMap table. The error code is -2147024893
Anyone have a work around to get us to uninstall RS This way we can install IIS 6.0 from scratch and try to install RS afterwards. Thanks.
Urgent help please!!!!! Error trying to uninstall RS sql 2k5

Note:
You must stop the default site, Stopping IIS itself does nothing to affect the error... I tried this several times before realizing that you said shutdown the default site, not iis...
Go figure...

Ok I copied over the msicuu.exe to the win2k3 box now I see a bunch of 2005 items. Should I just remove the Microsoft 2005 (All users) only or all What is your suggestion

This solved my problems

I used the config tool to create new instances of the default directories

I've used it on win2k3 before. Sorry for not clarifying for you.
Actually it was the exact same situation. I had a busted SQL Server 2k5 installation that wouldn't uninstall. That's what led me down this path.

ivolved,
No I am still having problems with it and have now opened a MS case for it. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks for the help though.

Hi,
Try shutting down the default web site before uninstalling SQL2005. This allowed me to uninstall SQL2005 Reporting Services without the "The setup failed to read IIsMimeMap" error ocurring.

John,
Were you able to re-install

Okay I recommend backing up your system before attempting this.
There is a way to trick Windows into thinking an application is not installed, thus allowing you to install it fresh again.
Go here to download and install the windows XP support tools (if you haven't already installed them).
Once installed open the support tools command prompt and type msicuu. You should see SQL Server 2005 on the list. Select it and click remove.
You should now be able to reinstall the components of SQL Server 2005 over the old build. Restore any databases that you backed up and everything should work fine.

Ran into this same problem and found a simple fix.
The box is Windows Server 2003, Domain Controller, ISA Server 2004, SQL 2005 RTM, IIS Application Server.
Attempted to uninstall SQL 2005, but the uninstall died when removing the reporting services with the missing IisMimeMap error.
We had changed the port address on the default web site from 80 to 81 in preparation to publish a site with ISA Server.
Changing this back to port 80 allowed SQL 2005 to completely uninstall.
Interesting, the IIS was completely stopped before the uninstall of SQL 2005, but somehow the SQL 2005 uninstall process is sensitive to the port address on the default web site.

The reporting configuration tool not solve my problem, it was crash too.
The solution to my problem was, create 2 Application into IIS, named "Reports" and "ReportServer"
Config the "Reports" site location in "C:\Reports" and "ReportServer" site location in "C:\ReportServer"
After this, I sucesfull uninstall Reporting Services.
The SQL Server 2005 Unistall program remove my 2 new application sites too.
