When installing SQL 2008 R2 November CTP I received the following error:
"The SQL Server 2005 Express Tools are installed. To continue, remove the SQL Server 2005 Express Tools."
I checked add/remove, I checked the "Program Files" directory, but could not find a trace of the SQL 2005 Express Tools installed.
After a little research I found this posting: http://sqlblogcasts.com/blogs/sqldbatips/archive/2008/08/14/sql-2008-install-blocked-on-express-tools-but-actually-due-to-sql-prompt.aspx
Jasper mentions that older versions of RedGate SQL Prompt can cause this issue. You can find that by digging through the registry and looking for dependencies. In addition to the issue with SQL Prompt (only version 3 and below) there is an issue with the newer version of RedGate SQL Search. I uninstalled boh and SQL 2008 R2 installed fine.
