Previous version detected

I just dowmnloaded sql 2005. I have been trying to install sql 2005 install keeps saying a previous version exists cannot proceed three is no sql anywhere to be found. what do i do? The support to this point is non-existent typical MSFT if you are not the peron to help who is?

Can you go to Add/Remove Programs and let us know if you have any entries for SQL Server 2005 (including Native Client)? Do you have any other SQL Server entries in ARP?

Also, what version are you trying to install?

Thanks,
