After installing the new Beta 2 .NET 2.0 framework
on a Win2k3 (64bit) machine, the Framework 2.0 Configuration MMC won't
start, I get
the follow message:

Snap-in failed to initialize.
Name: .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration
CLSID:{A22B5BA1-D8CF-4DB6-BC91-CFC1A04E2469}

Messagebox displayed when I start the program...

The machine also has SQL Server 2005 CTP installed, and this is how the .NET
framework 2.0 beta 2 came to be installed (as a prerequisite).
I have tried 'Repairing' the .NET framework installation but this does not
seem to work.

Any ideas?
 
VS.NET Beta 2 is not compatible with SQL-Server Beta 2 or with any CTP
older than April (I think). Which version of SQL-Server 2005 did you use?

You are also running this stuff on a 64 bit machine. I'm not sure if it's a
good thing with this beta 2.

SQL Server 2005 (64 Bit edition) CTP Version 9.0.1116.00
..NET Framework 2.0.50215.44 (installed with above)
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50215.44 (beta2.050215-4400)

We have not installed Visual Studio .NET Beta 2 on this machine. We have
only installed the SQL Server 2005 CTP and this automatically installs .NET
Beta 2 and a skeletal version of Visual Studio Beta 2 for creating reports
etc.

We are using the 64-bit versions of all technologies - it should work.
 
If you are using all the latest versions, then everything should be OK. The
June CTP of 2005 use a slightly upgraded version of the .Net Framework 2.0
but VS.NET Beta 2 should be fine with it.

It is possible that you did not perform the installation on a clean
installation of Win2003? There are been many report from people getting
problems when trying to install a new version after removing a previous
version.

In your last message, you make a mention of the July version 2005; which is
not yet publicly available. If this is the case and not a typo, then maybe
you should ask your question to the Beta groups.

If this was a typo, then maybe the
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=sqlserver2005
will be a better place to ask this question. This newsgroup have the title
of SQL-Server Beta2 but it's also used for the CTP versions.

There is also
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/community/forums/default.aspx
specifically for VS2005.
