You really really don't want to be installing a CTP release on a machine/server that you use for any other purpose, for the simple reason alone that it is a CTP release, unless of course you are happy with the fact that you may need to rebuild the machine at some point.
My advice, get either a dedicated server for testing Denali or setup a Virtual Machine to do so.
