Removing SQLServer 2005 Express Registry Keys

[Andrew Chalk]

MS update cannot install a Service Pack to SQL Server 2005 Express because a
component of an earlier version (a CTP, the Reporting Services component)
cannot be uninstalled. Can anyone tell me which set of registry keys I
should delete after removing SQL Server 2005 in order to reinstall on a
clean sustem?

Many thanks.
