sql express and .Net 2.0 Beta - how to install

[AlexS]

When I tried to install Sql Express from .Net 2.0 SDK I got following error,
which doesn't make much sense to me
-quote-
Delay load of action "DetectPatchedBootstrapAction" returned nothing. No
action will occur as a result.
Action "LaunchPatchedBootstrapAction" will be skipped due to the following
restrictions:
Condition "EventCondition: __STP_LaunchPatchedBootstrap__1248" returned
false.

SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 Setup has detected incompatible beta components from
Visual Studio or SQL Server. To proceed, use Windows Add or Remove Programs
to remove previous SQL Server Yukon components, SQL Server Support Files,
and Common Language Runtime (CLR) components, and then run SQL Server 2005
Beta 2 Setup again. For detailed instructions on uninstalling SQL Server
builds, see the SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 readme file.

Should I downgrade .Net or there is more compatible release of Sql Express
beta?

The SQL Express engine that you can download is Beta 2, which is compatible
with the Beta 2 release of VS and the SDK release at that time. I believe the
July CTP builds of VS and the SDK will also work with SQL Express. The RC
version of VS and the SDK require the September CTP of SQL to run (I believe
that the Sept Express is on the DVD for RC, but I am not 100% sure.

You cannot install a mismatched SDK with SQL Express. It is unfortunate that
it is like this, but a reality of beta software. Once the 2.0 SDK ships, MS
has stated the SDK bits will be cemented. All 3.0 additions to .NET will be
additions or internal tweaks; no interfaces will change. This means that
after release SQL and the SDK will stay in sync.
