My copy of Visual Studio .NET 2002 became corrupted. Repair didn't work so I
tried remove and reinstall via the Start menu. Removal seemed to proceed
normally but when I tried to reinstall I got:
"A failed installation has been detected. Press OK to uninstall the product.
Then retry installing."
So I tried removal via the Control Panel's Add/Remove programs. I got the
same message when I tried to reinstall.
So I tried regclean to eliminate all references to "Visual" (except for
those still needed for VS6) or ".NET". I still got the same message when I
tried to reinstall.
I then tried all of the the removal procedures at
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;315779
and
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;320114
but I still get the following errors on attempted installation:
"A failed installation has been detected. Press OK to uninstall the product.
Then retry installing."
followed by:
"Setup is complete."
"There were warnings generated during setup."
"View error log"
"[12/02/04,10:29:32] setup.exe: [2] Value (directory) from
g_szRegvalSuiteLocation doesn't exist in CSetupManager::RemoveSetupFiles()"
"[12/02/04,10:29:32] setup.exe: [2] CSetupManager::RemoveSetupFiles() failed
in CSetupManager::RunInstall()"
and the installation will not continue. Is there any way around this?
