NET Framework 2.0 Beta 2 installation XP profile and SQL Express problems

Hi,
After installing .NET Framework 2.0 Beta 2 Redistributable, my account
in Windows XP SP2 got corrupt. This meant that every time I logged on
with this account (with administrator rights), it was as a new profile.
Logoff didn't save the profile.

After having deleted the profile, everything worked as normal.

I also had some more trouble installing the framework. In the first two
attempts I tried with the redistributable, and this one didn't install
at all even if the setup procedure completed ok. The second time the
profile got corrupt. After the third try everything went OK. But this
time the SQL Server Express reported wrong .NET version and didn't want
to install.

After trying to install the framework with the Web Developer Express
downloader, everything worked OK. The download took some while, since
the speed was extremly slow.

And it's time for testing the framework. Looking forward to beta 3 now
;)

Great to hear you solved your problems. BTW, there isn't going to be a Beta
3; It will be released officially November 7, and there are rumours that the
RTM will be available for download from MSDN Subscriptions shortly.
