vs 2005 august ctp with sql express

Hello, the dvd of august ctp comes with sql express but it just doesnt want to install.

Are there any known issues about it

I tried to install sql express june ctp and it says that I have previous components from vs 2005 or sql, I ran the build cleanup configuration wizard from june ctp sql 2005 and it removed 2 components, after it I tried to run sql express june ctp again and it has the same errors.

What do you recommend me

When will be released september ctp of vs 2005 which version of sql express will it include

Thanks

I'm pretty sure this problem was fixed in the RTM version of Express. Please post here if you're still having trouble...
