How to uninstall VS 2005 SP1?6/9/2007 3:48:07 PM

0

First off, this was one of the worst installation experiences I've ever had, and I've helped nine developers install this nightmare of a product.  I've got one install that went even more badly than the others...

 The short version is that the install did not complete successfully and there's nothing in Add/Remove Programs concerning SP1.  Here are the details.  This particular machine had 10 gigs free on the drive with Visual Studio, and 3 Gigs free on the system drive.  The paging file and My Documents were both on the drive with 10Gigs free, so you'd think there'd be precious little space needed on the system drive - oh how naive I was.  After hours of pain and suffering, I got the thing to update both the Premiere partner Edition and then the Team Edition.  The third section, whatever that was, failed when it couldn't unpack a file and ultimately locked up the machine.  I had run out of space on the system drive and had no choice but to reboot, since the system was completely unresponsive.

 Now that I have a better understanding of how SP1 needs more space than the original Visual Studio install, and how that space needs to be available on your system drive (regardless of where My Documents or the Paging file reside), I'd like to try again.  I need to unistall it first though.

 Any help on completely eliminating all traces of this beast will be greatly appreciated.  Also, any hope that MS will someday refrain from releasing such horrible software will be appreciated (emotionally) as well.  At least my opinion of this particular installation seems to be pretty typical with others on the net.

Thanks.
