Hello all,

I'm trying to re-install TIA-Portal v16 including WinCC Professional. Following the manual, I first removed the instance of the existing SQL server WinCC instance. 

During the installation I encounter an error though, saying "Instance Name WINCC for product Microsoft SQL Server doesn't exist" (Log file is included).

I was under the impression the SQL server instance would be newly created at the install of WinCC Professional. Now the installation is aborted and I can't use anything.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks in advance.
