Hi I've recently recieved Microsofts Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2, I've successfully installed the visual studio.
When I try to install sql server 2005 I get the following
The sql server failed to start. For more information see the sql server books online topics: How to: "view sql server 2005 setup log files" and "starting sql server manually", it then rollsback the install.
Any ideas or suggestion appriciated.

check if your machine does not have sql server express, most likey you installed when you installed the vs 2005 beta. goto to your control panel > add/remove programs.
if it does, first remove the sql server express and most likely you will have to remove the vs beta version and the .net 2.0 framework

Before it rolls back you should have the option to see the related issue.

SQL 2k5 and VS.Net 2k5 Beta on the same machine can be a bit of a chore. During the development of SQL 2k5 and VS.Net 2k5 the versions of the .Net framework 2.0 were not kept in sync; the result being that you could not get both to run on the same box most of the time. If you are going to use beta, make sure that it is the very last CTP for VS.Net and the retail version of SQL 2k5. If my memory is working at this point, those two versions were on the same version of the .Net framework 2.0. Also, you could just get the retail version of both, which play nicely together.
Lastly, when you install VS.Net 2k5 it will noramally install SQLExpress unless you specifically change it in the custom install. Assuming you are going to put a full blown install of SQL 2k5 on the box, you'll probably want to disable this, just to avoid it eating more resources.
