For best results, install on a computer that has not had pre-release versions of Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 installed on it. If your computer has a pre-release version on it, follow the Uninstall Instructions below to uninstall these pre-release bits before installing the Microsoft .NET Framework CTP. You must remove them in the correct order to ensure a clean uninstall.

If you have a pre-release version of SQL Server 2005, MSDN, Visual Studio 2005, or the .NET Framework, you must uninstall them by following VS pre-RTM Uninstall Instructions.
