I have successfully uninstalled instance of sql server, but I cannot uninstall the workstation.

here are the log that I have :

Please help

What error are you seeing? Can you search your install/uninstall logs for the text string "value 3" and post the error message a few lines above?

Thanks,

Uninstall workstation?

What workstation you're referring.

Error 1618 means: Another installation is already in progress. Complete that installation before proceeding with this install.

There was another installation running at the same time you tried to uninstall SQL Express. Uninstall will work when you kick off setup later again.
