Old components from betas not removed.

I have run both auto and manual uninstall of Express betas but get
"SQL Server2005 has detected incompatible compnents from beta versions of Visual Studio, .net framework or SQL Server 2005. Use Add or Remove programmes to remove these compnents and then run SQL Server 2005 setup again. For detailed instructions on uninstalling SQL Server 2005, See SQL Server 2005 REadme." when I try to install SLServer 2005 Express.
No components are listed in the Add/Remove Programmes. C# Express and Web Developer Express has installed OK
Any ideas ?

Hi,

Please read through the following link:
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/uninstall/

It also has link to a uninstall tool which you try running.

Vikram

Hi,
  Could you try running the uninstall tool from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=47598? Then install the latest version of Express from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/.

That's what is failing !!
The uninstall tool says that I do not have permission to delete SQL 2005 Tools Express beta, although I am logged on as administrator. The files in question cannot be manually deleted because they are not in Add/Remove programmes.
I have done some further work and think it is to do with permissions to delete the old beta files. I will start a new thread on that.
Many thanks for your help though.
