I am trying to install sql 2005 on a machine that had VS2005 beat and SQL2005 CTp on it. I have uninstalled every possible component that was in the beta release, and I still get the error,
SQL Server 2005 Setup has detected incompatible components from beta versions of Visual Studio, .NET Framework, or SQL Server 2005. Use Add or Remove Programs to remove these components, and then run SQL Server 2005 Setup again. For detailed instructions on uninstalling SQL Server 2005, see the SQL Server 2005 Readme
The mentioned readmen file is usless, can someone please tell me what I have yet to uninstall to satisfy SQL
Thanks

I had same error about incompatible componenets or beta versions. I ran Windows Installer Clean Up Utility and it found a beta version of SQL2005 Express partially installed. I ran the clean up, it removed SQL2005 Express and I installed it fine. Here is the link:

You'll need to take at the log files created during setup to determine the offending component. Take a look in %PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Files. Look for something like the following:
Product "{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}" versioned 9.00.xxxx is not compatible with current builds of SQL Server.Expected at least version: 9.00.1399.06
if you find something like this, you can do the following to uninstall the component:
msiexec /x {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}
If you can't make heads or tails out of the logs, zip them up and send 'em to me (jeff . papiez @ microsoft . com) and I'll take a look.

Hi Jeff,
I was surffing here for 2 hours looking for exactly that you wrote. I gained a SQL Server SE in Microsoft Event in Bazil, but unfortunately I was not able to install due error message mentioned above.
Your tip was extremely useful.
Thanks a lot!

I was able to get SQL2005 to install. I googled the topic and found two references that led me to deleting two keys out of the registry.

I have just encountered this same error when trying to install Sql2005 with VS2005EE. I was, however, able to start the fix you had posted above but unfortunately ran into some problems during the uninstall.
The setup has encountered an unexpected error in datastore. The action is Write_CommitFlag. The error is :Unable to write property into cache: flagCommit
Unable to write property into cache:
"flagCommit"
XmlRW Error: Failure loading xmlrw.dll
CheckAllProcedures()
returned: 2
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I tried to perform the msiexec /x process you described above but keep getting error message:
msiexec /x {982DB00A-9C4E-436B-8707-18E113BAA44C}
I get error box:

The setup has encountered an unexpected error in datastore. The action is RestoreSetupParams. The error is :Failed to read property "Installds" {"MachineConfiguration", "", "DELL8250"} from cache Unable to write property into cache: IsClustered Unable to write property into cache: "IsClustered" XmlRW Error: Failure loading xmlrw.dll CheckAllProcedures()returned: 2
