It's clearly stated on the download page that they aren't compatible [1], if
you need both of them, run them on separate boxes.
If you install the VS June CTP's, you have to un-install the previous
versions anyway, and reinstall in the; order VS followed by SQL server, this
is the way it works when you are dealing with pre-beta software, and this is
also something you accepted when installing the bits, you did read the
readme files did you?.

[1] From the subscribers download page:
NOTE: Visual Studio 2005 June CTP is not compatible with the SQL 2005 June
CTP, but will work with the included SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The
June CTP of Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server requires the April CTP
of SQL Server 2005.
