I seem to be having a related compound problem:
Attempts to install VS 2005 RTM fail, citing the presence of remaining Beta 2 products.
The only remaining Beta 2 product I have installed is the "MSDN Library for Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2," which I am unable to uninstall, just as jph290 describes above. Presumably, this is due to the absence of the Beta 2 framework, as Khairun Jamal described.
Attempts to install the Beta 2 framework (as per Khairun Jamal's suggestion) fail about halfway through, with the following error message: "Error 25007.Error occurred while initializing fusion. Setup could not load fusion with LoadLibraryShim(). Error: 0x80131700." I'll confess to having no idea what that message means.
Suggestions

1. Having installed visual studio beta 2 with .net framework 2.0 beta 2
2. I installed .net framework 2.0 final -> problems with services and visual studio
3. tried to reinstall .net framework 2.0 beta 2 -> received error 25007 Setup could not load fusion
So I am having the same problem as described by others
- I would like to keep my beta versions til end of 180 day evaluation (I dont want to uninstall visual studio, because reinstalling VS doesnot like Sharepoint Installations -> for sure dont want to reinstall SQL Server 2005)
- I would like to do a clean uninstall of .net framework 2.0 beta 2 and .net framework 2.0 final
- I would like to get rid of the error 25007 and reinstall .net framework 2.0 beta 2
I found many hints in the web and found some "helpful" tools: msiinv.exe msizap.exe
... cant put it in other words right now, but it would be great if someone could give advice in handling these tricky beta installs (workaround for using beta and final framework side by side -> migration of applications from beta to full possible at the end of trial ).

Considering the stage you might be at - some products installed and some products removed - the best way out will be to install the entire beta version of Visual Studio again.
1) Make sure you have .Net Framework 2.0. If you don't have it or accidentally uninstalled it, you need to install it again. Download it from the following link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/updates/default.aspx
Install just the framework. You don't need to install the SDK as it comes with Visual Studio.
2) Install the entire beta version of Visual Studio again. Use recommended installation and avoid custom installation.
3) Now uninstall in the order suggested, or use the auto uninstall tool.

Uninstall of MSDN library beta 2 requires .Net Framework 2.0 beta on the machine. You will have to install Framework 2.0 beta again and then try to uninstall MSDN Library for Visual Studio beta 2.
.Net Framework 2.0 requirement for MSDN uninstall issue is fixed in final product.
