Uninstalling VS 2005 RC1

I have an issue with uninstalling SQL Express Edition CPT as part of uninstalling VS 2005 RC1. I have used both the Add/Remove programs and the vs_uninst.exe tool. In each case, I am leaving some residue of the program which triggers an error which does not allow VS 2005 install to configure SQL Express Edition. Any ideas

Thanks.

    Do I need to install the entire RC1 again or will some subset do

  • A.M.Khan

    Just the framework.
    Its under \wcu\dotnetframework on your RC media.

  • vbnetcoder

    SQL Express uninstall requires the framework on the machine because it has managed custom actions that it runs during uninstall.
    Try installing the RC framework on the machine and then running the uninstall tool again.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I have already downloaded the tool and it gives me two long error messages while it tries to uninstall SQL Server Express. It finishes by telling me that it uninstalled all components except for SQL Server Express!
