How do I remove ALL TRACES of DNN from a Windows 2003 server???

I want to install DNN with NO TRACES of a previous install.

For some STRANGE reason I cannot install DNN on that server and then be able to install a module on DNN.  The DNN site works, but when I try to add a module, it gives error and I have NO IDEA what is going on.

I have put threads on http://www.dotnetnuke.com/ forum asking why I can NOT install a new module.  I even bought a new domain name and then installed DNN on that domain, but NO LUCK.  I even uninstalled IIS and later reinstalled it.  NO LUCK.

I am just out of options.

I sure hope I do not have to reformat the server and install SQL and put 5 hours of updates on the server.  That ends up taking a full day.

Any suggestions?????

There are three things that I can think of:

1) delete the physical folders and files for the DNN site. This would be the folder that has a number of subfolders (including admin, bin, portals, desktopmodules and more) and some files.

2) If the SQL Server is also on this server, drop the database specific to this DNN instance.

3) If you have a virtual directory that aimed at the physical location of the DNN files, drop it.

and possibly 4) If the DNN site had a dedicated app pool, drop it.

For most typical installations of DNN, that should remove all traces.
