Package Load Failure - VS 2005 Beta 2

I am just a fan of custom installs. Every time I install something I choose custom to see what will be installed.
As you can see sometimes it's not a good idea. Since first time I have installed Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 I had problem with test projects. When trying to add a new test project I kept getting this error message:

Package 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.TestCaseManagement.QualityToolsPackage, Microsoft.VisualStudio.QUalityTools.TestCaseManagement, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=v03f577f11d50a3a' has failed to load properly ( GUID = {A9405AE6-9AC6-4F0E-A03F-7AFE45F6FCB7} ). Please contact package vendor for assistance. Application restart is recommended, due to possible environment corruption. Would you like to disable loading this package in the future? You may use 'devenc /resetskippkgs' to re-enable package loading.

It seems that Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.TestCaseManagement.QuailtyToolsPackage requires Team Foundation Client feature to work. It was one of that features I decided not to install since I didn't plan to use it.
