When I try to install "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition April CTP" via the "Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition Beta 2" installer I get an error saying:
The Following Component Failed To Install:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition April CTP
I also cannot test my pages in Internet Explorer, I get the error "Unable to connect to Visual Studio's Localhost Web Server" Is this something to do with the Microsoft SQL Server not being installed
Thanks
Dan

Are you running this installation on a Virtual PC If so, I think found some documentation that states that SQL Express will not run on Virtual PC.

Sounds crazy to me, but I have run into the same problem when installing on Virtual PC.
