    I am using vista home edition

    i already installed vs 2005 standard addition which included sql server express edition also. but due to my unawareness, i uninstalled the sql server. later, i needed it and installed, but by this time, as i was using sql server 2000, i didn't know about sql server management studio and i looked for sql enterprise (as in 2000) , and i installed and uninstalled sql 4-5 times. now i could not install sql server. i searched for some solutions, as in this forum i tried, uppercase computer name(which i already had), and windows installer cleanup utility (but i didn't uninstalled VS 2005). and before using windows installer cleanup utility , my error was

    Machine : ANANTA-PC

    Product : Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition

    Product Version : 9.2.3042.00

    Install : Failed

    Log File : c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Files\SQLSetup0025_ANANTA-PC_SQL.log

    Error Number : 1603

    and after cleanup utility installed, my error is

    TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup

    ------------------------------

    The installer has encountered an unexpected error. The error code is 2331. Error loading library c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\Bin\{2AFFFDD7-ED85-4A90-8C52-5DA9EBDC9B8F}sqlca.dll or finding entry point The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

    .

    For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=20476&ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=9.00.3042.00&EvtSrc=setup.rll&EvtID=2331&EvtType=e%3a%5csql9_sp2_t%5csql%5csetup%5cdarwin%5csqlcastub%5cstubredirect.cpp%40Do_LogInstallStart%40launchFunction%40x20

    i even tried this link too, their is no useful information, so what may be the problem and what i need to do??

    UPDATE

    today i uninstalled Visual studio 2005 standard edition and again reinstalled all of its components includin Sql server express edition, But again unfortunately, All components were installed but Sql server installation got an error that is
