Unable to reinstall SQL Server 2008 R2 on Windows Server 2003

  Something happened to my dev server so that SQL Management Studio disappeared from the server.  I verified the actual .exe was missing, not just a shortcut.  So I tried repairing the installation from the Control Panel and received the error below.  Then I tried unistalling all SQL 2008 R2 related applications from the Control Panel.  I should mention that I also have SQL 2005 installed on this server.  When I tried to uninstall SQL Server 2008 Browser and SQL Server 2008 Setup Support Files, I was warned that SQL 2005 is dependent on these files, so I did not remove them.  Then I tried to install SQL Server 2008 R2 and received the same error below.  I have tried deleting the Microsoft_Corporation folder as recommended by others, although my folder was blank.  It did not change anything.  I have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 as well as Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installed.  Do you have any advice, other than reinstalling the operating system and starting over?

  ************** JIT Debugging **************
  To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
  application or computer (machine.config) must have the
  jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
  The application must also be compiled with debugging
  enabled.

  For example:

  <configuration>
      <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
  </configuration>

  When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
  will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
  rather than be handled by this dialog box.
