Installing the June CTP of Sql Server 2005 with Beta 2 of Visual Studio .NET 2005

I have installed the June CTP of Sql Server 2005 onto my 32 bit laptop and to my x64 desktop system.  To install the June CTP, I completed the following steps:

  1. Uninstall everything associated with the April CTP of Sql Server 2005.
  2. Uninstall the .NET 2.0 beta framework.  The June CTP has a new version of the .NET 2.0 Framework.  I believe the version number is 2.0.50215.312 (at least on my x64 system).
  3. Remove the Reporting Services databases left over in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data.  If not, the install of the June CTP will complain.
  4. Performed an install of the June CTP, including the updated framework.

After doing the above, both Sql Server 2005 June CTP and Visual Studio .NET 2005 April CTP SEEM to work together.
