Hi Guys,
I'm new to sharepoint and having this issue. SharePoint was working fine but since I removed SharePoint foundation from Add/Remove Program due to free up some space from C as email was stopped working.
I did not removed any thing with regards to SQL database and I believe everything is there.
Now I have reinstalled sharepoint foundation and when I run "SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard" to create a new farm or to connect to an existing farm, i'm getting this error:
I have also ran PSConfig command but no joy:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN>PSCo
nfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd

Can some one help please?
