uninstalling vs 2005 beta 2 fails

Hi!

I'm trying to uninstall vs 2005 beta 2 in order to install the team suite and to clean up other things since I get some unexpected behaviour when working with it.
However, uninstall precedure stops responding.
In the dialog with the options add/remove, repaire, uninstall I select uninstall. The next wizard page displays the message 'Uninstalling Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 beta 2...' and it stops responding, while the progress bar remains clear.

Any ideas?

...after suffering some windows restarts (since setup wouldn't start again after this incident) and spending some time I found a workaroung!
There is a process called 'wmi***' (can't remember exactly) running while setup is on. Shutting it down from the task manager made the setup to resume!
