Hi,

I installed VS.NET 2003 . After that when I'm trying to unistall old setup
of VS.NET 2002, it is failing.

First time it gave the error that it can't find vs_setup.msi. But that file
comes only in installation CD and doesn't come in installed files. Running
second time, it is asking me to give CD1 of installation. I don't have that
now.

Any idea??

Thanks
Sanjay

Hello Sanjay,

The uninstall usually prompts for the vs_setup.msi if a registry link is
broken for Vs.Net. You should be able to uninstall via the below steps.

Start > Run and type Installer and then click Ok
Select View > Details
Right click on the column header Date Modified
Select Comments
Locate the file belonging to Microsoft Visual Studio .Net - English
Right click on this file and select uninstall

I hope this helps. Please let me know if I can help out further.
