.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Setup / February 2006VS2005 not installing - Beta conflict?
Well, shoot. I have a machine that had the beta installed on it. I went through both a manual and the automatic tool uninstaller for this, but I can't get VS2005 to install. Even though I've used both msiinv.exe and XP's msicuu.exe to uninstall anything .NET 2x-related, Setup keeps telling me that I have the Microsoft .Net framework 2.0 installed and the Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 installed. And when it tries to set up the remaining components - like the Document Explorer 2005 - it faults and fails the setup. It's maddening because I've tried everything I can think of to find and kill anything from the Betas, including manually going through the list. The .Net framework 2.0 is either NOT installed on my machine or it is very good at hiding. How do I kill these files and allow the setup to run sucessfully?

How do I kill these files and allow the setup to run sucessfully? Yeah, I see that's what MSFT recommends... Unfortunately that's not an option. My box has a lot of stuff on it that would take too much time to recreate. Since the problem seems to be orphaned registry keys / Setup detecting an installation of Framework 2x that's not there, maybe somebody out there knows how to isolate and fix this particular issue.

How do I kill these files and allow the setup to run sucessfully? I am having the same issue. When I try to use the tool that is suggested (as unofficial) to cleanup previous installs - by Microsoft in the readme doc, it says it cannot cleanup .... There was another tool which was posted in one of the msgs on this newsgroup, it runs ok but does not resolve the problem. I tried manually deleting any Visual Studio related folders from my PC and then removed some references to dxplorer.exe (Document Explorer) but did not help! The installation fails in trying to install Document Explorer 2005 and then says it did not even attempt to install the actual VS2005. Any tips from MS folks? thanks SignatureAnand > I had similar problems, I have a url to the fix but its on my home pc, i can > send to you on Saturday if you can wait [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > framework 2.0 is either NOT installed on my machine or it is very good at > > hiding.
