Author SQL Server 2005 & Visual Studio 205 RC
Erik

2005-11-03, 8:23 pm

I'm really sad guys...
I installed Visual Studio 2005 RC with SQL Express 2005 (included on CD) and
it worked very well
Today I removed SQL Express 2005 and I was really enthusiastic to install
SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition because I belive that is more flexible use
Management Studio instead of visual studio.
But when I try to install SQL Server DE I receive following message:
"SQL Server 2005 setup has detected incompatible components from beta
version of Visual Studio, .NET Framework, or SQL Server 2005. Use Add or
Remove Programs to remove these components, and then run SQL Server 2005
again."

Anybody can help me please?

I could re-install SQL Server press but in this case could be possible
install and use Management Studio programs?

Thanks for any comment

You need to remove any SQL Server 2005 components from Add/Remove Programs.
Then remove SQL Server Setup Support Files (if they are still there). Then
remove any visual studio 2005 components (e.g. VSS writer, J# redist, etc).
Then remove .net 2.0 framework beta.

Erik,

The readme, for SQL2005 Standard, says to remove SQL2005, Then VS2005, then
Net Framework 2. I would re-install SQL2005 Express then uninstall as the
readme says.

Thank you Aaron for your suggestion,
Do you think that after removed Visual Studio 2005 RC I can re-install it
without receive an error messagge that tell me to remove an incompatible
verison of SQL Server 2005 ?

Yes, as long as you also remove the .NET framework 2.0 beta.

Did you READ the README?

(Followups set to setup only)

"SQL Server 2005 setup has detected incompatible components from beta
version of Visual Studio, .NET Framework, or SQL Server 2005. Use Add or
Remove Programs to remove these components, and then run SQL Server 2005
again."

I too have this problem, and after 6 hours, can find no way to eliminate it.
I had the Beta versions of SQL and VS 2005 installed adn removed VS2005
first (which then killed SQL 2005, never to be recovered). I have removed
everything remotely associated with VS, .NET or SQL, including a host of
other apps that were installed after these.

I have tried Removing all these programs, deleting all directories, deleting
registry entries, rebooting many, many times, reinstalling SQL Beta,
re-removing SQL Beta, and nothing works. I am able to install the .NET
Framework 2.0 and SQL Native installed, from the SQL 2005 release CD, and can
get the upgrade advisor running (but of couse, there is no database left for
it to advise on).

It seems the only thing left is to format and reinstall my entire
machine...just to get SQL able to be installed. If anyone has any other
ideas, I am all ears!

Well, the error message isn't happening just to spite you -- you must still
have something installed that is incompatible with the final release.

Perhaps you could take screen shots of the items in add/remove programs,
post them on the web somewhere, and post the URLs (not the binaries
themselves) to the *SETUP GROUP ONLY* and someone can help identify which
part(s) you have failed to remove.

Followups again set to setup only.

I hate to state the obvious, but wouldn't things be much simplier if
Microsoft simply REPORTED what the problem is? i.e. a particular dll located
in the system directory or a single registry item? Since the install program
is actually looking at it, it certainly has a list of what it is looking for
where. Does anyone know how to find this list? Particularly with a known
issue like this. It should not have to require a complete windows reinstall
after testing beta software!

I can assure you, there is no need to post images of my add/remove programs,
as none of the programs listed in VS or SQl readme's are there. In fact,
nothing with 2005 or above is any longer there. No other Beta's of any kind.
This is absolutely insane

Do you know where I can find the REAL list it is looking for?

Hi

I have had the same problem.
The solution was to uninstall old versions with this tool:

I'm getting the same thing. I did NOT have a beta version of SQL 2005
installed previously, but I did have VS 2005 Beta and of course the 2.0
Framework Beta installed. These were both removed prior to installation
of VS 2005 (worked) and Sql 2005 Express, and possibly even other
components with 2005 Beta labels were removed. Yes I have rebooted. No
there are no Beta 2005 components currently installed in Add/Remove
programs.

That Cleanup tool basically shows you what you see in Add/Remove
programs, though I take it that it will remove the item from the
installed programs registry regardless of whether the uninstall works
(unlike Add/Remove programs). Handy but I don't think much use here.

It would be a big help if the error pop-up actually told us which
incompatible components still exist, or are thought to exist.

Max,

You're the man. This tool fixed the problem for me. But maybe, the doc
should be clearer (I don't know), anyway, I highlighted the problem program,
that is, the reporting service and have the cleanup utility do its trick. It
worked for sucessful reinstallation of sql server 2005.

Well Karl was the man for me (sorry Max). The 2005 beta uninstall tool
that Aaron has up got me past that "incompatible component" issue.
Still some more pain after that, first attempts got further but didn't
work and had to manually remove a successfully installed component from
the initial attempts. Lots of rebooting, uninstalling/reinstalling and
GPFs or whatever they are now. You probably want to uninstall
everything (non-beta too) after the uninstall tool is used and restart
from scratch.

Also if you're new like me make sure you get the Management Studio,
essentially the new Enterprise Manager. The basic SQL Express install
doesn't have anything to administer databases. Still in CTP form but
works with the new Express,

Thanks all

Thank you for the help. This fixed my issue.

I kept receiving the error when attempting to install. After looking at the
log files under C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup
Bootstrap\LOG\Files,
I found a comment about 'SQL Native Client'.

I used the tool you mentioned below to delete it and it fixed my problem.
Thanks!
