Uninstalling Tool Output Question

I try to uninstall everything related to VS2005 Betas (WebDeveloper, SQL Express and Studio Standard)

The reason is that somehow the whole SQL Express thing did not work properly. Allways got some error message. Also I now have the final 2.0 .net framework installed.

After a night of try and error I removed a lot or what I thought was everything. I do now run the uninstall tool (wich I found after that night) and get the following XML output:

< xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="C:\DOKUME~1\Markus\LOKALE~1\Temp\IXP000.TMP\issues.xslt" >

Can anyone point me on what to do with this information.

The only thing I have left on the Software is: SQL Server Desktop engine. When I try to uninstall it i get an error (try to translate to english)

Error removing helpservice from SQL Server for Active Directory.

Any idea

Regards Markus

    The RTM version of the framework will block if you have any beta 2 components installed.

    You will need to do the following:
       1. uninstall the 2.0.50727 version of the framework on your machine
       2. install the Beta 2 framework only (no need to install VS)
       3. uninstall SQL Express 
       4. uninstall the Beta 2 framework
       5. install the RTM product.

    I have the final .net framework 2.0 on my machine 2.0.50727 but still get the same error.

    Tried to install Visual Studio Beta 2 again yesterday. But somehow it seems that the beta 2 of Visual Studio 2005 Standard is so buggy on intallation.

    I guess the SQL Express on my DVD wants a different framework. Probably Beta 2.

    I have given up trying to install after many atempts. Will wait for final version.

    Hope installation will work then OK and not like the various beta unsinstall, install, install first, don't install after issues Tongue Tied

    If any one finds out what part the xml error message refers to I would be very thankful.

    Can you run msiinv.exe to see what's actually installed on your machine
    This will list all the products and you can tell if that product actually is installed.

    The following blog has a link to the msiinv.exe tool:

    Microsoft Visual J# Redistributen Package Beta 2 was still installed even though it did not show under Software in the Control Panel.

    Thanks for all Help

    Is this a beta 2 install   Parts of the SQL Server Express uninstall require the .NET Framework on the box.

    If you can install the framework back on first, and then uninstall the SQL component, then uninstall the Framework, you should be in a good state.
