John,
I was able to successfully uninstall beta 2 using this un-install tool:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=47598
I think I'd try running this took, then check in Add Remove Program that you
don't see any SQL or NETCF or device emulator after running the tool - if
you do, remove them manually. Then try reinstalling RC. Hopefully this will
work, but I have one computer with an old beta 1 installation on it that I'm
unable to install a newer build on and will need to rebuild the machine.
Please let us know if this works or not.

I had the beta2 but I did uninstall it as per ms instructions. Anyway to
fix this, now that beta2 is no longer on the machine?

It sounds like you have a bad installation. Did you have any previous
versions of VS installed before you installed RC? If so, which version
was the last one and how did you remove it? It sounds like you may have
had an incomplete uninstall before installing RC.
