My install of the Pup Starter Site was messed up because the Windows 2003 SP
1
server did not have the MSDTC component installed.  After installing MSDTC, 
I
tried manually uninstalling the Pup by doing the following:

1. deleted the starter site databases
2. removed site references related to the StarterSite in SiteResources
(records referred to in Sites) and Sites 	tables in MSCS_Admin
3. deleted  the StarterSite virtual directory in IIS

I still get errors such as:
"Error importing object data for Transactions from file C;\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\Transactions 80131501:The
transaction has already been implicitly or explicitly committed or aborted.

How do I completely uninstall and reinstall the StarterSite Pup so I don't
get any errors?

TIA,
Steve Shier

Steve,

To complete uninstall a site I've typically followed the following sequence

1. Using Commerce Server Manager, delete all the applications within the sit
e
2. Using Commerce Server Manager, delete all the resources within the site
(this executes the drop scripts for the resources and deletes the associated
tables from the site DB and resource references from the MSCS_Admin db)

3. Using IIS Manager, delete the IIS applications pertaining to the Site
Applications
4. Refersh the IIS Manager and delete the folders associated with the above
applications

5. Use the Analysis Manager and delete the DWH resources associated with
the site
6. Use the Commerce Server Manager and delete the Global Resources
(Profiles, Data Warehouse) associated with the site

7. Finally, use SQL Enterprise Manager and delete the site databases
(<sitename>_commerce) & (<sitename>_dwh) databases.

It is never recommended to directly tamper with the data in the MSCS_Admin
DB, needless to say a wrong delete and you might land up having to reinstall
MSCS from scratch.
