I am attempting to install SQL Server 2005.
I get the error message
"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. ... ".

There are no such components listed in Add or Remove Programs.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Regards

On the beta dvd there is an uninstaller. It's in "\Tools\Setup Tools\Build Uninstall Wizard\". The command is sqlbuw.exe.

Run that and it will pull off what ever is left. This app isn't included on the RTM disk, it's only on the beta disks.
