Visual Studio :: Uninstall VWD 2010 And Reinstall 2008?
Jan 10, 2011
I recently "inadvertantly" installed VWD 2010. I still have my Visual Studio 2008 (full version) installed and want to remove VWD 2010. I want to recompile my active projects under VS 2008. Here are the steps I am planning to undertake. Am I missing anything?
1. Save all active projects 2. Remove VWD 2010 using "Uninstall Programs" from the control panel.3. remove ASP 4.0 via the same route.4. Reinstall VS 2008 5. Reinstall all service packs.Will this bring me back to a fully functional VS 2008? Need I make any additional registry changes?For the record, I do like VWD 2010 and would like to upgrade to the professional version but I cannot afford to do so at this time. I need to build some console applications and this is not possible under VWD. I am also unable to install C# Express.
I have installed SQL Server 2008 express, reinstall it with advanced services, uninstall TFS 2010 and tries to reinstall it but fails. It doesn't want to completely uninstall.
So I'd like to clean everything by hand (deleting registries, folders) but can't find any info. I have deleted install directory but installer still memorized that TFS is installed.
I installed a VS2010 Trial and have since downloaded a copy from the company MSDN account. I uninstalled everything that said VS2010 in the Programs area and am now attempting to reinstall the MSDN copy. It does not work. The install ends up through all kinds of errors and ends with an unsuccessful install message.
What do I have to do to completely clean off the old versio, or may the new one overwrite everything?
I tried to install Visual Studio Prof 2010 trail version in my system, but i got an error saying 'Please remove/uninstall Visual Studio 2010 load test controller' to proceed installation. i uninstalled my previous VS2008 software from system and i could not find anything like 'Remove/Uninstall Visual Studio 2010 load test controller' software in my Add/Remove Programs.
While attempting to download Visual Web Developer 2010 Express I received an error message stating that I needed to uninstall the Beta 2 issue. However I have not been able to uninstall it.
I lately installed vwd express, and including this installation I installed (automatically) also the sql express 2008.I had a problem with my vwd, and I got an advice of removing it and install again. I removed it, and removed also the sql express. Now I understand that I probably shouldn't have done it, but I did.I also removed manually some folders that relate to the sql server (after I unistalled the sqlserver thru "add remove programs").I reinstalled the vs 2008 express, but this time it didn't install again the sql express.I entered to this page: [URL] and tried to install it by myself. It opened the installation
and after a few seconds it said that the sql was installed. Maybe it still recognizes something that was left...I entered the registry and deleted the relate files to sqlserver. I tried to install again, but still the same phenomena.I need an advice what to do. I have no problem with uninstall the vs 2008 express, and install it all over again, but I knowthat again - the sql won't be installed.I hope I gave here all the required details.
I had Visual studio 2008 Team system installed on my machine and tried to uninstall that . When I did the uninstall, am getting a wierd error message "A problem has been encountered while loading the set up components .Cancelling set up". I googled this and found some posts asking me to uninstall all the hot fixes associated with VS 2008 TS .I did that but still am getting the same message.

I removed mvc3 tools for visual studio, and now it seems no matter how much reinstalling, or un-installing i do i cant get razor project templates or intellisence for razor.I have even removed the visual studio folder and visual studio hives in the registry but still the same. I seem to remember a simular problem with mvc2 tools, that the installer doers not reconize it as un-installed and therefore does not re-install it.how can i re-install mvc tools so VS reconises razor, or remove all trace of visual studio and mvc3 so that i can start again?
I am looking at developing using Visual Studio 2010/2008 and SQL Server 2008 on Windows 7. Should I be able to do this on Windows 7 Professional, or do you need Windows 7 Ultimate?
I initially installed Visual Studio 2008 Developer edition. I then installed Visual Studio 2008 Suite edition, with 2008 Developer edition still on the PC. When attempting to create a new Web Test, this option is not available to select when adding a new test in the solution.
The steps I followed: 1) Create new Project: Test Project 2) Add "New Test" 3) At this point I would expect "Web Test" to be an option, I only have Ordered Test, Unit Test, and Unit Test Wizard.
Do I need to uninstall Visual Studio 2008 and start with a clean Visual Studio 2008 Suite to get the "Web Test" option to show?
Is there any way that I can get the list of All the available shortcut key options listed from within IDE itself in Visual Studio 2008/2010? Because every time I used to bing and find on web for that.
My existing system has Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. But Microsoft web installer for Webmatrix has made Wematrix Launch ribbon menu pointing to Visual Studio 2008. How could I make Webmatrix point to Visual Web Express 2010. To make use of IntelliSense and the debugger, I have to manually launch Visual Web Developer 2010 Express.
I cannot install the proper Visual Studio 2010 because I have the Visual Studio RC isntalled and I cannot uninstall the Visual Studio RC because it crasches. I think my last option is to download the Visual Studio RC install files again and repair that installation and then uninstall it to later install the release version of Visual Studio 2010. Does any one know where I can find the Visual Studio RC install files again?
I'd like to know if I can install both 2008 and 2010 of VWD and use SSEE2008 without ANY difficulties. I need to support some existing sites in 2008 and want to be sure that I can still do that if I load 2010.
I installed Visual Web Developer 2010 on a machine that already had SQL Server 2008 Professional on it. Now that machine is running both SQL 2008 Professional and SQL 2008 Express instances.
Is there an easy way to uninstall the Express instance?
I installed VS 2005 on my machine few months back and I worked with it. And now(its been 4 or 5 months I opened it last time) I saw that all the file options are missing and I'm unable to select any options( file->open ->website or web application) to open. so I uninstalled the VS 2005 from my machine and now tring to reinstall it. But I'm getting the following error.Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 SetupThe Windows Installer package:c:documents and settingsDesktopvs_setup.msicould not be opened.Choose Retry to try again. Choose Cancel for exit setup.Retry Cancel Mine is 32-bit XP machine.
I tried copying the .aspx and .aspx.vb files from my existing VS 2008 web site directory into the VS 2010 project directory (which is how I converted projects from VS2005 to VS2008), but that doesn't seem to make the files appear in the project/solution in VS 2010.So, I've got this site I built in VS2008, and I want to start editing it in VS2010. What's the best way to do this?
