cannot install express edition

I am using the SQL Server June 2005 Community Technology Preview and installing express edition from it. I did unisntall the old version of sql and .net framework. Then followed the instructions on page http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyId=1A722B0F-6CCA-4E8B-B6EA-12D9C450ED92&displaylang=en

but I am getting an error "sql server 2005 CTP setup has detected incompatible beta components from visual studio or sql server.........." when try to install sql server.

I don't have any visual studio or any old version of .net framework or sql.

    Tongue TiedI have exactly the same problem. I have successfully un-installed previous VS beta 1 and langs, then went to install VS Beta2. Point I would like to raise , if build uninstall tool can find these traces why can't it point them out (&location) in plainer language, then I could DO something about!!
    Hair loss increasing, do I give up

    If I remeber correctly, SQL-Express leaves installation protocolls, telling you quite excatly with which components it got problems. Those logs can give you hints what registry entries you have to delete.

    Unfortunately, I got it running quite a time ago, so I can't remeber excatly how I did it.

    Maybe the log files where located at:

    C:\Programme\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG

    Take your chance!

    Hope this help,
