I set up sql 2005 september ctp successfully and then since yesterday I
am still installing VS 2005 RC! I left the setup on overnight and it
still has not completed this morning. My machine is completely locked up
and the taskbar has disappeared. If I do Alt-tab I can't see the
programs running. I have 1.2 GB RAM and yet the machine is behaving like
it does when it is low on memory with window content overlapping,
disappearing content, etc.
What exactly is it doing that is taking so much time and resources? I am
extremely unhappy with this install. I can't do anything on the machine.
The Beta 2 install was much smoother and faster. How do you expect to
release the product in November with such crazy problems???
Somebody please help!!!

Did you go over the system requirements prior to doing the install? Also,
did you follow the instructions for doing a complete uninstall of previous
versions prior to doing the install? There are a number of components that
must be uninstalled in correct order before installing the new version.

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail.
