I tried to install Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview on D:\Programs\VS11
, and the installation failed due to low disk space on C:
drive (which I solved after the error). When I try to uninstall VS11 I get this error:
I had to delete the some folders on disk, some registry entries related to VS11 (wild guesses, of course), and use msizap to remove the MSI's. After all these steps I managed to start the installation, but I get some script errors, so in order to uninstall and retry the setup I have to repeat the cleanup process.
Is there some clean up tool like it was for VS2008, or some blog that highlights everything that must be removed for a successful reinstallation?
UPDATE
On my way to a Win 7 reinstallation, I managed to get another error:
