trouble with framework beta 2.0 uninstall
I recently had visual basic, c# , c++ basically the whole express beta 2 installed on my computer, i uninstalled the express edition so i can install the visual studio professional edition beta 2. When i install it say that setup has found that frame work 2.0 install so it skips installing it. I know for a fact that i uninstalled all the frameworks 1.1, & 2.0.50110, when i go ahead with the install and it finishes i get all kinda errors, i tried the blogs site to search for a uninstall tool can't seem to find one, so i tried installing framework v2.0.50215 (beta 2) still having problems I can't seEm to get this to work. So i unstalled that as well still no results. So i am trying to figure out how do i get the installation disk to install the correct framework version it needs.
and how do i go about uninstalling any version of beta 2.0 so i can get this install to work. when i uninstalled the framework beta 2.0 that came with express edition, it ask me to reboot i didn't and then i went to check to see if it did i notice that it was still in the uninstall panel, i tried to uninstall again and it said that it must have been already uninstalled and prompt me to remove it from the uninstall list so i did. So what happen i don't think it fully uninstalled it that is why it keep saying that it detected framework 2.0 installed on my computer.

Sounds like you're gotten yourself in a bad state.
Can you try the VS uninstall tool first?
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/uninstall/
(there's a link to the clean up tool from there).
If that doesn't work, you can try running msiinv.exe to see what's still on your machine and use msiexec /x {product GUID} to remove those beta components.
