Solution
At this point in time, you should be using CTP2, not CTP1.
You should be installing the CTP on a clean machine (preferably a VM), not a system with a bunch of pre-existing software - especially from previous versions of SQL Server / Visual Studio. CTP2 might get around this particular issue for you, but it's still best practice IMHO to run beta software in a clean environment.
Please review the release notes, in full, before proceeding.
