Live Cache 7.5. Installation SCM4.1 ERROR MDB-070020

Question

Hi,
we`re trying to install live cache 7.5.00.21 on SCM 4.1.
(Maxdb version of normal db is 7.6.05.09).
We had an other version installed before, which we deleted because of other errors.
Now we`re getting the following error message - any idea?
WARNING 2009-01-16 11:19:37

MDB-070020 The database installer reported an error. Some database applications are probably still running.
Check the log file sdbinst.log.

Sure - how did you uninstall the former installation?
rm -f /sapdb/<DBSID> ??
To correctly uninstall a MaxDB/liveCache you'll always have to use the SDBUNINST tool.
Since there seems to be another installation on the same server, it's now a bit complicated to clean up the registration mess... You should open a support message for that. Then we'll see what we can do here.
