Error message on connect to SQLEXPRESS
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 2 - Connection was terminated) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 1236)
I don't know what version of SQLEXPRESS I have. I can't uninstall this version. I no longer have any item in the AddRemove panel that has "SQL" in it except my SQL Server 2000 and MSDE. I desperately want to install the April CPT but the installer says I still have to uninstall other components. I have NONE of those components in my Add/Remove panel.
What's goin on here?

Ran into the same problem when trying to add a database with Visual C# Express Beta2. Uninstalling and reinstalling this Beta2 (along with SQL Express) didn't solve the problem.
Installing the same Beta2 on another new (clean) machine doesn't show this problem, though. So my best guess is it has something to do with the assemblies and rests of beta1 still on the machine?
There are a couple of items in the Add Remove panel that are SQL related but may not be obviously so. For Whidbey B2 and the SQL April CTP, the component names are more obvious. But, for Whidbey B1 and SQL B2, they were not all well named. The Whidbey Beta website has a set of un-installation steps that outline all of them. Also, the website has a cleaner for files that may have been left around.
