Unable to install sql server 2005

I got the following message when I try to install the SQL server 2005 June CTP.

"SQL Server 2005 CTP Setup has detected incompatible beta components
from Visual Studio or SQL Server. You must run the build cleanup wizard
from the CD to remove previous SQL Server 2005 components and .NET
Framework components, and then run SQL Server 2005 CTP Setup again. For
detailed instruction on uninstalling SQL Server builds, see the SQL
Server 2005 CTP readme file"

I have run the build clean up tool, and uninstalled all VS 2005 Beta 2 related programs. Is there any register value that I need to delete, so that I do not get the error message.

    Seems ridiculas that the installer doesn't like Net Beta 2 Framework, but once I hace uninstalled using the cleanup tool the damn install screams I need to install it again and round and round it goes...

    Hopeless :(

    You can also give this uninstall tool a shot:

    Well things got bad when WinFS beta 1 was out: That needs a build earlier than SQL june CTP. The bad thing about it is that we wont get a new version of WinFS for some time, even after .net 2.0 goes final. So i gave up, took off sql june ctp, winfs, and did a repair on vs july ctp. Lets hope that in september we will get sql, avalon, indigo, winfs, and vs on the same build of .net otherwise it will be a good idea to stop coding on these new technologies until they get in sync :S
