Can't Uninstall SQL Server 2005 Beta

My SQL Server 2005 Beta has expired and I want to unistall it. When I try, it tells me I need to have .NET framework 2.0 before I can run setup. I do have .NET 2.0. And I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and I still get the error from SQL Server when I try to unsintall. This error is pissing me off and this stupid beta is taking up almost a gig of space. HELP.

Can't Uninstall 2005 Beta

I am trying to uninstall the beta version so I can install the CTP version.
I tried using the Cleanup Wizard that came with the CTP version but it errors
when trying to uninstall the beta version - says I have to use Add/Remove
programs.
But when I try to use Add/Remove programs, I get a message that says "the
..Net Framework 2.0 is not installed. Please install before running setup."
The 2.0 beta framework is installed.
How do I uninstall the beta SQL Server and all its components (reporting
services, notification services, etc.)?
Hi
Is the correct version of the 2.0 framework installed (the one that came
with your beta).
It is best to ask SQL Server 2005 Beta questions in the beta newsgroups as
MS will give support in those and not here.
