Installing new Trial version activation code - Removing VSnet without original DVD.

Hello There,

I obtained a visual studio .net which I installed a few months ago but then
never had time to use. I obtained a new copy of the trial which is slightly
newer.

However, because I have lost my original installation DVD, I cannot remove
the first installation to do a reinstall that will prompt me to enter a new
activation code.

When I use my new DVD, it does a repair install but does not prompt me for a
new code and claims the trial has expired when complete. However, when I try
to remove the installation through Control panel, it does not remove because
it required the original installation DVD, and does not recognise my new DVD
as this DVD.

So what can I do? It seems that I cannot remove this software at all without
the original DVD

An alternative to removing (in the short term) would be to change the
activation code of my installed software to the new one I have received so I
get another 60 day trial.

Can anyone help on this matter.

TIA and regards

Dave.

Further to my previous posting, I have now managed to do an uninstall which
allowed me to do a reinstallaion (allthough this all took a very long
while).

I would still be interested in knowing if there is just a quick way of
inserting a new activation code to visaul studio .net.

Regards

Dave
