When Installing VS 2005 Pro RC, SQL Express Install Fails

Thank you replying.

Sorry, but I decided to uninstall all of the SQL Server 2005 and VS 2005 stuff. I've never been able to get a good install from any of it. The VS 2005 installation would throw an error every time I attempted to read the help. Spending ten hours trying to get a good install is not a good user experience, even with a pre-release product.

I tried looking in the file you named the day I made the post, but it didn't help any and I never did find the file that gave me the cause that the install gave me.

I may try again at another time, but frankly, I'm very disappointed in the installation software for the product. Smooth installation was one of the main reasons I switched to MS development products in th mid 80s.

By the way, the uninstalls worked very wellTongue Tied
