Installing Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2

Sunday, 17 April 2005 17:11 by nickp

Earlier today I was installing Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 when it prompted me to remove a previous install of the .NET Framework 2.0. Specifically I needed to remove the following:

 

  • Microsoft .NET Framrwork 2.0 Beta 2
  • Microsoft Device Emulator Beta 2
  • Microsoft Visual J# .NET Redistributable Package 2.0 Beta

No problem, I went to Add/Remove programs and removed both the .NET Framework 2.0 Beta 2 and the Device Emulator Beta 2; however the Visual J# .NET Redistributable Package 2.0 Beta was not listed. I did a quick search and found it located in the following directory:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.40607\Microsoft Visual J# .NET Redistributable Package 2.0 Beta

I quickly found the associated .MSI package which I ran to perform the uninstall, it quickly prompted me to install the .NET Framework 2.0 Beta 2 before proceeding, then of course it exited. To work around this, simply pull up a command prompt, navigate to the above directory and run the following command which will allow you to remove the Visual J# .NET Redistributable Package 2.0 Beta:

msiexec /x jsredist.msi

    My latest article has been published on The Code Project. Custom Data Binding Through Reflection discusses the use of both reflection and custom attributes to map data objects to UI elements. Check it out if you have a chance, let me know what you think as well.
