HELP!!!! 2005 INSTALL HOSED MY MACHINE!

I had 2005 CTP and SQL on my machine and I guess I missed an uninstall order.  I had vs 2k3 on my machine and now it does not run.  I tried the vs2005 uninstall tool and it found nothing.  I uninstalled vs 2003, .net framework 1.1, .net framework 1.0, ran a registry cleaner, deleted all files left over and restarted in between each step.  When I try to install the .NET Framework 1.0.3705.0, I receive two errors:
1. Error 1904.Module C:\WINNT\system32\mscoree.dll failed to register.
2. Error 1904.Module C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\mscordbi.dll failed to register.

Tried removing the file from system32, tried removing files from c:\WINDOWS\system32\URTTemp.  Still can not get 1.0 framework to install and installing vs 2003 studio gives me internal error 2908!!!!

How can I get this fixed! Please help!

    Sounds like you've gotten yourself into a really bad state right now.   Deleting files manually is always a bad thing.

    First step:
       1. Clean off any beta products on your machine.

       2. Run msiinv.exe to list out the products on your box and remove anything that is still lingering.
       msiinv.exe can be downloaded from: https://blogs.msdn.com/quanto/search.aspx q=msiinv&p=1
       to remove a product, run:
          msiexec /x {product code}

       3. Install the 1.0 framework.  If it fails, get the log from your %temp% directory and send it to me.  http://blogs.msdn.com/quanto has a link to contact me at my MS account.

    Just replied with the following:

    Hi,

    It sounds like you might be running into an issue with the windows installer holding an older copy of the framework in memory as you try installing a newer framework.

    After running the uninstall tool, can you do one of the following to make sure the windows installer is reset:

    1) net stop the windows installer service

    2) reboot

    3) wait 10 minutes and make sure msiexec.exe isn't in your list of programs running

    Once you do one of those, try installing again.

    Thanks.

    Quan
