Problems with Debugging in VS.NET 2003 after installing .NET 1.1 S

[Guest]

I have a solution that I have been working on for some time without problems.
I installed XP SP2 and everything was still fine.

I decided to install .NET 1.1 SP1. After that I can no longer debug. The
solution contains both an ASP.NET app and a Windows App. When I tried to
debug the ASP app, I got a message saying that the framework was not 1.1.
When I tried to debug the Windows app, VS just hangs.

So to get back to work I decided to uninstall the framework and reinstall
1.1 (without service pack) and worry about the service pack later. When I
tried this the uninstall hung. Now I can neither install nor uninstall the
framework.

If I try to install it tells me I have to uninstall first, and the uninstall
hangs.

If I uninstall from control panel, I get a scroll bar labelled Gathering
Required Information. It goes to about 50% and then stops and eventually
produces a dialog saying "Installer is no longer responding" after a long
time (more than 30 minutes). If I click Retry it just repeats over and over
(tried 4 times) with the same long time between messages and no apparent
progress.

I have searched far and wide and found nothing to help me.

Before I reinstall the whole O/S can anyone help me with:

1. Are there problems with using SP1 with VS 2003?

2. Is there a way to force the uninstall of the framework or to force an
install on top of a corrupted install?

I am running XP Pro SP2 with all updates. I have the Norton Security Suite
running.

Thanks in advance

1. Are there problems with using SP1 with VS 2003?
Yes, lots.of problems. I think you figured this out by now.

2. Is there a way to force the uninstall of the framework or to force an
install on top of a corrupted install?

There are a few resources on the web. I don't have a link though. You may
want to try microsoft support.
