Error installing SQL 2005 Reporting Services September CTP

When installing the September SQL 2005 CTP, the installation of
Reporting Services fails with the message: "The setup has encountered
an unexpected error while Setting reporting service and share point
exclusion path. The error is: Fatal error during installation."
Here's the section from the log:

Sharepoint (not sure if that's what is referred to by "share point" up
above) is installed and working on the box in question. Any thoughts?
KenWell, I appear to have worked around it by uninstalling SharePoint
(both the "portal" and the "services" flavors). I reran setup, and it
worked that time. Luckily I didn't need SP on this box (yeah, yeah,
and it's still beta . . . )

Ken,
I tried a few times to get Reporting Services 2005 and Windows
SharePoint Services 2 working on the same box and failed with earlier
builds.
The specific problem you are seeing, I guess, is that say
http://localhost/reports and http://localhost/reportserver need to be
excluded paths (if I remember the terminology correctly in WSS2) on a
SharePoint server.
You need to find the Managed Paths screen to create the excluded
paths.
That's the first step, I think.
