Hi everyone,

Sorry to be introducing myself with a problem, but i cannot install SQL Server 2005 Express to work with Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Beta 1.
The error i get is:
Database and Analysis services already installed, and cannot be updated, and setup doesnt move forward.

I will explain why this could be happening. I also installed SQL Server 2005 Eval over it and uninstalled it, before removing the SQL Server folder from the Program Files directory.
I also tried installing SQL Server 2008 Eval, but it wont install due to collation problem. When i try to select collation the setup just vanishes and never comes back.

I would like to know my potential solutions. Thank you very much.

Edit*: Iam using Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium
