One of the requirements is to remove all beta versions,CTP version of SQL server & also .NET Frame work. Although you uninstalled your .NET,As Microsoft says, .NEt needs to be installed first BEFORE installing Sql Server. Had you simply download in the sequence provided in the SQL Express download page,You'd have got the latest versions of .NET & it would have worked without any hiccups.
