installing problem
-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

It sounds like you have other SQL components left. Please check if you still have the following in add/remove program (control panel) and you need to remove all of previous version of the following.
"Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition"
"Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools Express Edition"
"Microsoft SQL Native Client"
"Microsoft SQL server setup support files"
"SQL Mobile Device"
The components above needs the matching version of Framework to be properly uninstalled. If could not remove them using ARP, try http://blogs.msdn.com/admin/blogs/posteditor.aspx?App=hgao&PostID=445841
We have a tool that performs uninstall automatically, email me at hgao@microsoft.com in case you'd like to try out Beta version of the tool. The tool would fail SQL express uninstall if the Framework is missing.
If you still see the issue. Please send me the log file dd_vsinstall.txt in your temp folder and the output of msiinv.exe ran on your machine if you have trouble.
Thanks
