Bug

Uninstalling Business Analyst does not uninstall all registry keys successfully. Specifically, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ESRI\BusinessAnalyst\Datasets, these locations persist after uninstalling and this causes data source conflicts with new installations of BA or different versions.
