More problems uninstalling MSDE

After my last post on working with MSDE I ran into another issue. This time the problem was:

'Service 'SQLSERVERAGENT' (SQLSERVERAGENT) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficienct privileges to install system services.

It had the typical Cancel - Retry - Ignore options. I went to cmd.exe, ran

sc delete sqlserveragent

and hit retry, problem was resolved. (By the way, cmd.exe is case insensitive when working with sc.exe.) So, now that I know what to look for, I can easily spot how to get rid of it.
