Setup catch22 - install seems impossible

Question

I'm trying to make a single server install of TFS on a machine with a previous install of SQL2005 Beta 2.

TFS requires me to run both the Analysis services and the Reporting services AND to uninstall .NET 2.0.

Now the tricky part here is that the Analysis services and the Reporting services both require .NET 2.0 to run!

How can this ever allow anyone to install?

Thanks anyone,

Nikolaj

You need to start by removing the version of SQL Server Beta 2 that you have there and install the April CTP which is available for download from the MSDN site. I would also suggest either cleaning the server or installing Virtual Server and building TFS inside a new server instance.

If you then follow the single server installation guide I promise it works. I've now built several single server installs both on a clean server and using Virtual Server.

First of all - thank you Ian for your quick reply.

Now, I got at lot further. The single server installation almost finishes, when a messagebox pops up, stating:

The same error is the first to find in the log file. Any clue of what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
