Challenge with SQL Express Installation

I am having a problem with the installation of SQL Express. the uninstall program says that part of the Beta is still installed. then the uninstall program crashes with a syntax error saying that   in wrong place. found it deleted it and then the program will not continue. i cant find any remnants of the beta but SQL Server express will not install!! Please help.

Check out the Setup log, it will give specific information about what components are still installed. If those components are not listed in Add/Remove Programs, you can uninstall them using:

msiexec -x <product ID>

Product ID will be listed in the setup log. This problem is discussed in detail in several other posts in this forum and in the Setup forum if you need more information.
