First, if you need to post the same message in multiple groups, please
crosspost. Do not multipost. I'll echo the response you received in
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework:
<quote>
Please post to the forums for the Beta of SQL2005 and VS2005.

and add the following thoughts:
Now that you have a failed attempt with the April CTP, you'll need to use
the procedures described here:
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/uninstall/
to uninstall leftovers before attempting to install the June CTP. I realize
the link above addresses VS 2005 specifically, but some of the steps
address SQL 2005. You may also have to do some manual registry cleaning.
This is beta software.
