Hello,
I recently downloaded VC++ 2005 Express Beta and installed it. It
doesn't have MFC, so....
I then tried to run my VS.Net Beta 2, version 7.0, and I found there
were some problems with it. I decided to try reinstalling it. In
the middle of the reinstall there was a protection fault error, and the
install program froze. I had to force myway out of it.
I then tried to install again, and this time it stopped with errors.
I then tried to uninstall, and the same errors cropped up. In fact, I
tried to unstall the VC++ 2005 Xpress and it wouldn't let me do it
(claimed there was an install that wasn't complete).
How can I unstall these packages? I have included the error and
install logs below. The install log has been shortened for posting.
Thanks for any help!
...John
P.S. I'm running Windows XP Home Edition.

I found a solution to this problem and hope this helps others. It
was a bit odd, but it worked.
This website:
http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2004/09/08/227118.aspx
or
http://tinyurl.com/62wu5
directed me toward the MS Windows Installer CleanUp Utility,
msicuu.exe:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
or
http://tinyurl.com/47d8
Now, what was interesting is that it was the act of *installing* the
utility that fixed the problem. It asked me if I wanted to undo an
application in the middle of installation (which apparently happened
with the VS.Net Beta2). I selected yes, and it fixed the problem.
Actually, I had to install the utility twice because it froze the first
time, but ran smoothly the second. I didn't have to actually run the
utility, just install it.
Then, I went to the Control Panel's "add or remove programs" option,
and successfully removed VS.Net Beta 2.
