How do I uninstall Microsoft Programs not on add/remove list

I tried to install sqlserver 2005, but was told a beta version must be
uninstalled first. I had thought I had already removed them. I checked the
add/remove list from the control panel, and nothing related to sqlserver 2005
is on the list.

However, in all programs, all the components are there. They won't work, of
course, telling me they need .net framework 2.0 beta, which I also removed.

Some installed programs are "hidden" and not shown in add/remove. I use
TweakAll 3 which shows "visible' and "invisible" entries. If you want to try
the program it is free at http://www.codeforge.co.uk/.
