Does anybody else notice vdproj or msi taking an ungodly long time to
uninstall from add/remove programs?

Our project was doing fine until one day we realized it takes 5
minutes for someone to uninstall. Some users were interpreting it as
a lock up and were rebooting. As a test, we uninstalled VS SP1 and
rebuilt the installer. It now takes 15 seconds to uninstall again.

Thoughts?

The problem seems linked to Business Objects dependencies. We've
opened up a support ticket with Microsoft.

We are having the same kinda problem. Is there a workaround for this?
If not, when will be fixed?

Thanks
