Cannot Uninstall VS.NET 2002!!!


Cannot Uninstall VS.NET 2002!!! S. Elliott (timberfish.com)
10/25/2003 12:51:14 AM
visual studio .net setup:
Okay, so we just got the upgrade to VS.NET 2003 and are planning to install
it. Here's what happens...

So I go to add/remove and click Change/Remove which pops up the VS.NET main
setup screen with 1, 2, 3 options.
I choose #2 which is Repair, Reinstall or Uninstall VS.NET
Setup loads its data and then I'm given more options on the VS.NET
Maintenance Page. I can Add/Remove components, Repair/Reinstall, or I can
Uninstall. I choose uninstall.

The next thing I see is an error (right away) saying... "Setup is unable to
determine a valid ordering for the installation. See the error log for
further details."

I figured this might have to do with MS updates and patches applied or it
might have to do with installing the updated 1.1 .NET framework since
originally installing VS.NET. So I uninstalled the 1.1 update, then I
performed the Windows Component Update that's part of the VS.NET setup to
return components to original state. Then I repaired/reinstalled VS.NET to
hopefully correct any issues. I repeat the process only to get the same
error message. Basically I'm unable to uninstall VS.NET no matter what I
do.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

I just realized that someone else posted a similar post. For that I
apologize as I just ran across it. However, he was given the correct
solution for VS.NET 2003, whereas I need to uninstall 2002. Could someone
give me the correct msiexec command for my situation?

Thank you!

Please try a maintenance scenario running from source (CD). You could make
a repair and then unistall. Or you could go directly with uninstall.
If that does not work, then you can use a msiexec /x [product code], where
[product code] is the product GUID for VS 2002.

Please let me know if it resolved your problem.
