I installed the following components in my laptop in this order:
1. .NET Framework 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86) (From microsoft website)
2. SQL Server Express 2005 September CTP
3. Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 Version (I have the DVD for this)
I realised that SQL Server Express 2005 September CTP is not compatible / does not work with Visual Studio 2005. Visual Studio 2005 can only be used together with SQL Server Express 2005 APRIL CTP (which comes together in the DVD rom, but it did not install it for me perhaps because i already have the September version installed earlier). So now, i have to uninstall the SQL Server Express 2005 September CTP to be able to install the APRIL CTP SQL Express. To uninstall the SQL Server Express 2005, i need to also uninstall the .NET Framework 2.0 which i installed seperately. I have a .NET Framework 2.0 Beta version installed also when i installed Visual Studio 2005.
My problem now is that in which order should i uninstall the .NET Framework 2.0 and the SQL Server Express 2005 September CTP Because, from what i know, uninstalling in the wrong order would cause the Visual Studio not to function properly and also there would be problems installing the SQL Express APRIL CTP...
Help needed urgently! Any advice is greatly appreciated...
Thanks alot.

Hi,
Thanks so much for the quick response, Dan...
"uninstall SQL Server 2005 September CTP and then uninstall .Net Framework." - The .NET Framework you're referring here is it the one i installed seperately for the SQL Server 2005 September CTP Because i have another .NET Framework 2.0 BETA which is installed together with VS 2005. I have to uninstall the VS 2005 as well I'm doing my Final Year Project, and i've already started doing something in VS 2005...(that time i didn't know Express September CTP is not compatible with VS 2005 :()
Someone told me that if i uninstall things in the wrong order, it would cause everything to malfunction, and i have to reformat my computer. I do not want this to happen, because it will waste alot of time and my project is due very soon...
Looking forward to your reply...
