I am encountering a problem installing SQL Server 2005 (April CTP) from my Visual Web Developer installation. The following is the error message pops up:
"Microsoft SQL server 2005 CTP Setup was unable to insall on your computer.
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 CTP Setup has encountered a problem and will end.
Please tell Microsoft about this problem."
I cannot figure what could be the problem. When I exit this message, I do find the SQL Express installed but cannot not start an instance of the server. The OS is Windows 2000.
Please HELP!!
Thanks in advance

SQL Server 2005 Express Installation Error

Tried that (installing the Microsoft SQL Server Express September CTP), got the following 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."
I tried cleaning out all installations of VWD(apart from .NET framework 2.0) and installing the latest SQLExpress and still got the same error.

After searching around the internet, I finally fixed the problem. I basically had to install SQL Server 2005 Express April CTP(the June and September CTPs kept giving me the compatiblity errors) as a seperate installation and not as part of VWD. Don't know how but it worked.
Thanks for the help Josh.
