    Kjeld,

    I went through the same for several months. I found the below and the installation when well last evening, even if somewhat time consuming.

    = = =

    The problems I was having have been expertly and enjoyably addressed by two posts on Aaron Stebner's WebLog at

    http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/07/01/434814.aspx

    I found these to be absolutely first rate explanations and the installation of SQL Express went through without problems after following these clear instructions.

    Since I have been trying to solve this problem on and off for 6 months I have to wonder why this information is not posted on the Visual Studio 2005 Express Support page at

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/uninstall/

    When those instructions failed there is no clue as to what to do next.

    One of the prerequisites for installing SQL Server Express is the removal of (among other things) any CTP products - the installer found references to CTP versions of SQL in your registry.

    Follow the direstions (and links if required), particularly step 2 at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/

    Thanks-
