Problem Installing/Uninstalling VS.NET Beta 2

Hello,

I recently downloaded VC++ 2005 Express Beta and installed it.  It
doesn't have MFC, so....

I then tried to run my VS.Net Beta 2, version 7.0, and I found there
were some problems with it.   I decided to try reinstalling it.   In
the middle of the reinstall there was a protection fault error, and the
install program froze.  I had to force myway out of it.

I then tried to install again, and this time it stopped with errors.

I then tried to uninstall, and the same errors cropped up.  In fact, I
tried to unstall the VC++ 2005 Xpress and it wouldn't let me do it
(claimed there was an install that wasn't complete).

How can I unstall these packages?  I have included the error and
install logs below.  The install log has been shortened for posting.

Thanks for any help!

...John
P.S. I'm running Windows XP Home Edition.

 I found a solution to this problem and hope this helps others.  It
was a bit odd, but it worked.

 This website:

 http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2004/09/08/227118.aspx
 or
 http://tinyurl.com/62wu5

 directed me toward the MS Windows Installer CleanUp Utility,
msicuu.exe:

 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
 or
 http://tinyurl.com/47d8

  Now, what was interesting is that it was the act of *installing* the
utility that fixed the problem.  It asked me if I wanted to undo an
application in the middle of installation (which apparently happened
with the VS.Net Beta2).  I selected yes, and it fixed the problem.
Actually, I had to install the utility twice because it froze the first
time, but ran smoothly the second.   I didn't have to actually run the
utility, just install it.

 Then, I went to the Control Panel's "add or remove programs" option,
and successfully removed VS.Net Beta 2.
