Issue installing SQL Server Express on Visual Studio Beta 2

Hi,

I have installed VS 2005 Beta 2 (Team System) using a DVD available from MS TEch Ed. This also installs SQL Server 2005 Express edition along with other tools. This installation is done on a vpc.

However when I try to install SQL Server Express Manager over this installation, I get "The installer package could not be opened. Contact the vendor to make sure to verify that the Windows installer package is valid".

Is there a solution to get this resolved ?

Thanks in advance !
It likely that you need to download the file again. Also not that you may need to uninstall the .Net Framework and re-install the version that SQL Server shipped in its June CTP as the NetFx version between Vs Beta 2 and SQL CTP June is different.
