Hi,

did you have any precious betas installed? Do you get any error message?

Betas and CTPs of VS 2005 may not uninstall cleanly. (They were never meant for production machines, but only for testing/evaluation purposes.) So you may have some garbage from a beta or CTP confusing the VS 2005 RTM installer. I would try the following:
  1. Uninstall VS 2005, .NET Framework 2.0, SQL 2005 Express, and related tools.
  2. Run the Pre-RTM Visual Studio 2005 Automatic Uninstall Tool to clean everything up.
  3. Re-install VS 2005 RTM and related.
Hope this helps.
