Hello!

I want to install beta 2 of VS 2005 but I can't uninstall beta 1. The Setup
stops responding when this message is still visible "Setup is loading
installation Components. This may take a minute or two". I manually removed
J#, MSDN Documentation and .NET Framework 2 beta 1 from the Add/Remove
Programs Panel. I even tried to reinstall .NET Framework 2 beta 1, just in
case it's required from the VS Setup wizard, but no luck.

Any ideas?
 
One extreme approach but often very effective is to reinstall the complete
BETA 1 to uninstall it immediatly after the installation :)

I discovered that something from IIS was the problem. Executing iisreset
while the setup stoped responding solved the problem and uninstallation
continued.
