Impossible to uninstall VS.NET 2003

Windows XP SP2.
I want to uninstall Visual Studio .NET 2003.
1-In Add or Remove Programs I click on Change/Remove.
2-In Visual Studio .NET Setup box I click on 2. Visual Studio .NET.
         A Windows Installer Installation Wrapper box pops up containing:
         "Usage:
                  /? show this dialog..."
3. I click OK (the only option anyway), the Setup box disappears, I am back
to Add or Remove Programs

I inserted the CDROM.  The same behaviour starting from 2 above.

How can I fix this problem?
Thanks,
Dan

Try uninstalling manually:

I made a manual uninstall.
Then I inserted the CD in order to reinstall (my initial objective was
actually to install new
components ).
The behaviour is the same.

Many Thanks,
DanA

If the manual uninstall was successful, you should be able to insert the
distribution CD and start from scratch. What do you mean by "the behavior is
the same"?
Previously, you described a scenario where you were selecting Add Remove
Programs, etc.
If you successfully completed all manual removal steps, Visual Studio should
not appear in the Add - Remove dialog.
