Anyone come up with a cleanup of the CTP that keeps the RTM version from installing when even after the vs_uninst_betas.exe is run and doesn't remove it all.
The SQL 2005 RTM won't install if it still detects any of the CTP left.

I have the DVDs for VS2005 Pro & VSTS, Beta 2 (July 2005 CTP) and I cannot find the file sqlbuw.exe that you mentioned. Where does it live Thanks.

vs_uninst_betas.exe will only uninstall VS Beta components. Any SQL Beta\CTP components will remain on the system. If you still have access to one of the previous CTPs, you should be able to find our SQL Build Uninstall Wizard (sqlbuw.exe) to remove all SQL beta components.
