Installation of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition

I have tried to install Visual Basic Express Beta2 on 2 different machines directly from the net as well as from the image file (from harddisk using ISOBuster 1.7). While the installations of the Betas of Framework 2.0, VB, MSDN Express Lib all worked OK and went on until the very end of the Server installation the system reports: "The following components failed to install: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition April CTP".
Can anyone help thank you
Fred

    Do you have any other SQL Server 2005 CTP components installed on the machine To troubleshoot this I'll need the log files from the SQL installation. You can find them in the following location: %Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\log\files\*.log. You can zip the files before attaching them.

    Thanks,

    I have the same experience except with VB replaced by C# 2005 Beta 2
