I have downloaded .net,visual basic and sql server components (2005 beta 2)
- I had .net 1.0 and no other vb or sql server versions on my machine.
- i uninstalled the 1.0 framework and installed the 2.0 beta 2 version
- when i tried to install sql server it told me that i either had previous versions of sql server or .net on my machine.
- i therefore uninstalled .net beta 2 and tried installing sql server again
-- this time i got a message saying "please install .net 2.0 before proceeding"
-- i have no clues as how to proceed
-- i used the clean up tools--sqlbuw.exe and vs2005_beta_cleanup_tool.exe

Thank you
