June CTP Won't Install

Alright - I'm at 5 hours of my time now trying to remove the April CTP via all the advice in this user's group and install the June CTP of Yukon. I have used the Build Uninstall Wizard as well as removing registry keys per some of the other posts here. I have removed everything in the registry, via Add/Remove programs, and by deleting the SQL Server folder by hand. I can occasionally get all the way through the June CTP install, but I continue to have engine level 1116 and I need to get to 1187 to view some database files a client has sent me.

Ideas?

Darren,

Please contact me via email and we can discuss your options. Basically we have had issues with dirty uninstalls. I can give you a clean up script that will clean your machine of all SQL residue.

I will not post it here as I want to control it's distribution as much as I can for we have not done extensive testing on it but there have not been any reported cases of failures.
