Visual Basic .Net & Studio .Net Install

I originally had VB.Net standard installed on my
computer. I have subsequently installed Visual
Studio .Net 2002 on my computer. I have not uninstalled
VB.Net.

When I look in my Add/Remove programs - there are two
entries - one for VB.Net and the other for Visual
Studio .Net. Both entries are over 1 GB in size.

My question is whether the VB.Net is redundant information
or if it is actually installed separate from the Visual
Studio files. I would like to uninstall it if they are
separate files - but I am a little tenative as I don't
want to rip any necessary files out.

Does any one have advice on this matter?

Check the directory structure on your hard drive. Open your Programs menu
then navigate to Visual Studio .NET. Right click on the menu entry, then
select Properties. In properties, you'll find the full path to the
executable (devenv.exe). Note the location. It should be C:(or your install
drive)\ProgramFiles\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\...\devenv.exe. Do the same
thing with VB.NET Std from your Programs menu. If the two applications
reside in separate folders under Program Files, and the size of each folder
is as you described, you can be pretty sure the applications are independent
of each other.
It's well known that Visual Studio .NET 2002 and Visual Studio .NET 2003 are
completely separate products, but I don't know about your case where a
component of Visual Studio is installed, followed by the whole studio.
Another thought, if you open VS, do you see recent projects created in your
VB Std in the recent projects list? If not, that would be an indication the
products are separate.
Hopefully, someone else who has seen this situation will chime in.
