If you read the question, he states the reason.

Jason R. Coombs 2009-09-07 20:01:01

I read the question- uninstalling it is a viable option.

Answer 2

+1 A:

if no service is running, then sql server is not running since sql server is made up from services.

Why are you asking? Do you want to uninstall and it say that something cannot be deletet because the file is locked?

Welcome to StackOverflow - you're picking up downvotes on this and other answers you've made because the signature is being interpreted as link spam, and by convention is generally unwelcome. Conventions like these keep the signal to noise ratio very high.

Paul Dixon 2009-09-15 11:17:06

to Paul : Sorry, can you show the convention where it is noted?

Paul: It's noted here http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/5029/are-taglines-signatures-disallowed-on-stackoverflow

Bill: okay, but this should be in the place where anyone can see. I can't agree that in Internet everything with SO is a noise and thus - spam. This is an opinion of a single site administration but not the "whole Internet". For example, Technet, MySQL, SQLServerCentral etc. do not make noise beacuse of this. If those are the rules: user has to read them right from the beginning and they must not be somewhere in the "apropos" in some "Forest Codex".

You are correct - this is the convention here on Stack Overflow, and one that most accept. As Jeff notes in the link above, if you don't like this policy, then maybe participating here isn't for you.

Paul Dixon 2009-09-15 12:54:44

@Paul Svirin: This has nothing to do with a single site administrators opinion. If you look at the number of down votes you're receiving the community strongly dislikes the behavior.

@ RSoldberg: well, I had only post corrections with the guys with 10-15+ k. points. Dut not 300, 400, 500... isn't it an administration?
