When I run the setup and choose new installation, I get this error during the
"Setup Support Files" process (ExecuteStandardTimingsWorkflow).
Could not open key:
UNKNOWN\Components\43C313DB6EBAD154F901C6B5BFA69F0 6\C2BF01D69A282F04190DB76EC40FAD2F.
Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support
personnel.

I previously had SQL Server 2008 R1 developer edition installed. During the
upgrade it indicated that it could not update ReportServices as it was having
troubled communicating to the database. I attempted to uninstall the SQL
Server components, and had problems with uninstall, and went through some
manual steps. Looks like I did not completing remove SQL Server 2008 R1.

I am having the same issue - I had the November CTP installed and it wouldn't
uninstall so I ended up deleting files and trying to clean out registry, but
to no avail.

Would like to know how to clean up from previous beta's...

the previous beta (64 bit)? Cleaned out the registry and deleted all files in
programs but still the installation stops when executing the
ExecuteStandardTimingsWorkflow step. Funnywhise the 32 bit version can be
installed...

Thanks!!!

I don't have any advice for how to clean up after the CTP. But I do have
an advice for how deal with CTPs and the like: never install them on
machines you want to keep. That is, use a virtual machine that you can
throw away when the beta is over.
