determining installed MS SQL features

i didn’t find the uninstall/change option in Programs and Features to be very useful for determining which SQL server components are actually installed. this method also requires access to the original installation media.

a quicker method is to go to:
…Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log
and finding the Summary.txt file(s).

here’s an example of the file contents:

Product features discovered:
