Cannot Connect to Shared Services DB after 11.1 installation

Question

I uninstalled 9.3.1 and then installed 11.1
When I start the configuration process, the foundation services asks to connect to the Shared Services Database. I don't get the option of selecting Perform 1st Time Configuration (it is greyed out), the only choice is connect to previously configured shared services database. When I put in the name of the other shared services database, from the 9.3.1 installation, I get the following error:
Shared Services database content not found in the specified database
I am go to the uninstaller, but there is not an option to uninstall just shared services.
Any ideas would be appreciated

John,
I renamed the file in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Universal\common\Gen1\_vpddb directory. When I ran the configuration again, I still do not get the option to configure a new db, and I still get the error from the original post.
I have attached the vpd.properties file the was just created
