SQL Server 2008 R2 installation error - sql-server

Question

I am struggling since yesterday regarding the error, first my SSMS expired for some reason & I was not able to get it working. I was not able to unistall all the software related to SQL Server & it shared components, I was removing it successfully & I was getting the same error after reinstalling SQL Server 2008 R2 Express & SSMS : your trial version has expired.
At last I messed up everything by forcing SQL Server & its component when I removed it with CCleaner as suggested in one of the article.
An now I am not able to install any version of SQL Server whether it be SQL Server 2008, SQL SErver 2008 Express or SQL Server 2008 R2 Express edition I get following message for all the version as show here:
I am not sure what to do either I reinstall windows 7 or try to search further for solution which I would prefer as I had several software installed on my system & it will take me day or so to install all software.
I would appreciate help regarding this

Answer 1

The one thing that i know is that even when you install any type of program it creates registry entries. Sometimes keys are kept there or in a log file. Uninstalling the program will do you no good if you were running a trial version of SQL-Server. you will have to delete the directories out of ProgramFiles on your local hdd and also out of the registry. This has been a workaround for me for all trial version programs that i have ever installed. when deleting from the registry be careful that you don't delete something that you are not suppose too. Otherwise a format should be in order. Running something as administrator as far as I know does not solve this problem. Unless proof can be provided.
Also on a side note. before uninstalling SQL-Server you must stop the instances for it to delete all components related to SQL
