Are you still using the director from the command-line to do the installation?  
If so, then add an '-uninstallIU'.  Your command line would look like:

C:\eclipse_3.7\eclipsec \
        -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director \
        -nosplash \
        -consoleLog \
        -profile SDKProfile \
        -uninstallIU "org.eclipse.platform.ide" \
        -installIU "org.eclipse.sdk.ide" \
        -repository file:/f:/temp/testp2/plat361p2 \
        -destination f:\temp\testp2\sdk36\eclipse
