Installing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 9.00.1399.06

I'm having problem with installing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 9.00.1399.06. I have (I think removed) all beta and other SQL files but the installation still fails.

Any ideas on where to look for the problem(s)?

It looks like you already have an instance installed with the same name. In the Instance Name dialog enter a unique name for the instance you're installing.|||Hi,
What if I want to remove(clean) all default instances and install SQL Server 2005 RTM as the default instance. I am getting the same error trying to install RTM. I unistalled Sept CTP. How do I remove all the existing instances

Thanks,
-Suri
