Shot in the dark, but have you tried selecting the Update Visual =
Studio .NET option to see if you get another menu which includes an =
uninstall option?
I've not had Visual Studio .NET 2002 for a long time, so my memory of =
it is not good, but for Visual Studio .NET 2003, a sequence similar to =
the above gets me an uninstall option.

Sounds like you'll have to uninstall manually, as something in your =
current setup is broken.

Re: Uninstall VS.NET 7.0

I have tried both the removal procedures you note but I still get the
following errors on attempted installation after removal:

A failed installation has been detected. Press OK to uninstall the product.
Then retry installing.

Setup is complete.

There were warnings generated during setup.

View error log

[12/02/04,10:29:32] setup.exe: [2] Value (directory) from
g_szRegvalSuiteLocation doesn't exist in CSetupManager::RemoveSetupFiles()
[12/02/04,10:29:32] setup.exe: [2] CSetupManager::RemoveSetupFiles() failed
in CSetupManager::RunInstall()

and the installation will not continue. Is there any way around this?

Not that I know of. I'm stumped. Three possible courses:
1. repost here citing all details and current status in the hope that
somebody else with the necessary expertise/experience will address your
situation.
2. Contact Microsoft tech support , citing an installation incident.
3. (Probably least palatable) format your hard drive, reinstall your OS and
go from there.
Sorry not to be more help.
