incompatible beta components

When I try to install SQL Server 2005 I get a message that says:
SQL Server 2005 Setup has detected incompatible components from beta
versions of Visual Studio, .NET Framework, or SQL Server 2005. Use Add and
Remove Programs to remove these components.
I haven't installed any beta software. What step should I take next?

Looks strange, are you sure?
What is the version are you installing ?
Uninstall all programs that relate to SQL Server 2005 or VS .

of those components, uninstall them. Also, restart your server before
attempting the install.

|||You may also want to run MsiInv to see what applications the
installer may be picking up. Sometimes the different apps or
remains of some apps don't show up in Add/Remove Programs.
The installer can pick up on those and throw the error you
are getting. MsInv should pick that up. For more info, check
the following article and follow the links in that article:

this problem? I wasn't able to find anything in knowledge base.

even uninstalled .NET 1.1. I considered uninstalling .NET 2.0. There are a
lot of Windows Server 2003 Hotfixes. I didn't think they would matter since
I just installed Windows Server 2003 SP1. I wonder if I need to get a newer
version of SQL Server 2005.
