Hi,

I too encountered this problem. I completely uninstalled VB.Net and SQL
Server 2005. I also uninstalled the .net framework 1 & 2.

I then cleared out the registry of all items relating to any of these
products. I then re-installed SQL Server 2005 first and then VB.Net
after that.

I had no further problems
