I get message "Beta Period Expired" when trying to access the beta.
Problems began after installing 3rd party controls from the resource kit that
were meant for 2003. Have deinstalled, reinstalled, and downloaded frest
copy.

Software install goes smoothly, apparenently there is something on my
machine.

Um, I had a similar problem when upgrading from VS 2002 to VS net 2003, i
could not add features or unistall or reinstall due to msi scewups. You
probably need the msi repair tool,. I can't remember exactly where, but MS
has it. MSICUU.exe is the file name, it removes all damaged and partially
installed crap. Watch out, MS might tell you that you need to download a
huge service pack or SDK to get it, that is not the case, keep looking.
