SQL Server 2005 Installation Problem?

I'm having problem with installing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Evaluvation Edition. I have removed all beta and other SQL files but the installation still fails.

summary.txt looks like this:

As far as I can see you have two problems.
Hardware requirement - check what is needed.
I'm not sure if it interuted your installation or It just gave you a warning.

The other problem is:
You already have a SQL Instance with the same name.
When installing, click the "Installed Instances" button on the Instance dialog to view the name of all of the currently installed instances.
