I would recommend that you put the RTM DVD in your drive and let it
determine what needs to be uninstalled and guide you. I did that on one
machine with completely satisfactory results. The RTM popped up a dialog
indicating that some uninstalls were necessary and provided a link to an
instruction page giving a list of things to uninstall and the order in which
to proceed. After following the instructions VS 2005 installed fine.
OTOH, on a second machine where I had installed pre-release stuff and
uninstalled it myself (I'm a dumba**), I'm having a heck of a time. I may
well end up wiping the drive and reinstalling the OS to get VS 2005
installed.
Hope this helps.

Right. Be sure to follow the instructions in the readme exactly, and
everything will be well with both platforms.
