SharePoint 2010 Beta Install: Application Server Role: Web Server (IIS) Role

I was trying to install SharePoint 2010 and what i found was that it was restarting over and over again. It restarted the server 8 times before i decided to look at the logs, it seems like it was having problems configuing the IIR Roles:
“Multiple Server restarts on Error with Configuring Application Server Role, Web Server”
and
“Application Server Role: Web Server (IIS) Role: configuration error – pending restart of the computer”
Solution:
It seems that you CANNOT have Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 installed before you install SharePoint 2010. I rolled back to a previous VM where i did not install VS2k10 and then ran in prereq install and everything worked.

















Hello There,
Where you got the SP 2010 Download, is it possible to share it with me , I know EULA doent Permit it , I am just too curious to see the SharePoint 2010.
I am getting this exact same error, but without Visual Studio installed. I did install SQL Server 2008 R2 on the same machine. Wondering if that has anything to do with it.
