I am having the same trouble with this update. I tried to uninstall .NET
2.0, and I get the following error message:
EventType : visualstudio8setup P1 : 183 P2 : 8.0.50727.42_rtm_x86ret
P3 : msi P4 : rep P5 : f P6 : - P7 : - P8 : 1612 P9
: -
P10 : -
And the report contains:
C:\DOCUME~1\HAROLD~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WLF44.tmp
C:\DOCUME~1\HAROLD~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\SDB45.tmp
C:\DOCUME~1\HAROLD~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\VSW0\VSSWMSISummary.txt
C:\DOCUME~1\HAROLD~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\VSW0\VSSWMSIFailInfo.txt
<NoFiles>
As you might have guessed, none of these files seem to exist.
A little background:
I have an HP Pavilion laptop, with Windows XP Home pre-installed. I also
have Office 2003 Professional, which was not pre-installed.
I had some trouble a few months ago with Office 2003 Pro, and on the advice
of a computer nerd, attempted to uninstall and reinstall it. I made a
mistake in that process, however, and after I had already
uninstalled-reinstalled realized that the CD I had to hand was for Office XP
(from a different computer I own). So I panicked and tried to use System
Restore to "undo" the uninstall, which of course didn't work, but I think it
might have screwed up some other things. I also now have both copies
(Office10 and Office11) on my computer, and despite having run Add/Remove on
the Office XP version, it is still in the folder in Program Files. Since
then I have located the correct CD and reinstalled Office 2003, but there are
a number of programs that I have tried to update or uninstall which give me
similar errors. I have used the Windows Install Clean Up tool on a couple of
these that I knew I could re-install, but it doesn't seem to work all the
time.
Do you think this could be the reason why I can't uninstall the .Net
Framework? What should I do to fix it? And can I download a new version of
it if I do manage to uninstall, or do I need a whole copy of Windows XP?
Thanks for your help.
