VS2005 RTM and SQL install

Well I made the plunge and upgraded to the RTM of VS2005 and SQL Server. I am not sure if this is an issue with everyone, but it happened to me. I decided that a new vpc was in order so I loaded up the VSTA and Sql on the vpc. I installed VSTA first and SQL second. no issues whats so ever. I was glad to see that. I then decided to build another box with VS2005TeamSuite and SQL. Again a new vpc, Team Suite and then SQL. SQL would not load. Seems that SQL thinks there is beta software on the machine and it stops and asks me to uninstall it. Since this was not the case I decided to uninstall TeamSuite and all the residual stuff and start over. This time I loaded SQL first. That went smoothly. Then Team Suite, that also went smoothly, that is until I open TeamSuite and saw that there were no C# or VB templates in there. Looked very similar to the SQL designer and in fact those were the only options that I had. Ok so i decided a reboot might do some “magic”. No way, templates not there. I decided that I needed to try to do a repair on the install. What do you know, the templates were there. All seems to work well now that I have it all setup. Not sure if MS, in there rush to get this product out, may not have tested every scenario, but it was really frustrating especially after I had a smooth install of the VSTA and SQL. Hope this helps others that may have the same issues.
