While attempting to install a trial solution for SharePoint I ran into an issue using stsadm where I wasn’t able to remove a solution.

A quick google search brought me to an excellent article by Alex Thissen titled “Removing malfunctioning Windows SharePoint Services solutions” details the entire process. I my case withe a new SharePoint installation the WSS Administration service had not started and isn’t started from what I can tell by default.
