Uninstalling .NET Framework beta

I installed the Visual Studio .NET beta which in turn installed the .Net Framework beta.

I am now wanting to install the full version of .Net studio so I uninstalled the beta which claimed to have worked, I then tried to install the full version to be told the beta framework was already installed. To prove that it was installed, it gave me a product code.

I went though my drive, uninstalled and deleted any .net stuff I could find, cleaned the registry and still got the warning. I've searched for the given product code in the registry, in files and for files named the same. Nothing was found.

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the beta so I can finally install the full program.

Hi,
Are u trying to install the release version after uninstalling beta version.
If that is the case,the beta version has to be uninstalled first by uninstalling any application using .net, then uninstall the Visualstudio.net.
But this gives problem in many cases,I had the similar problem of uninstalling.
I uninstalled the beta version using the CD for Visual studio.net.
Then installed the release version.
If u have not tried using CD, do try that which i think should solve the problem.

>Are u trying to install the release version after uninstalling beta version.

Yes.

I trid the uninstall from the DVD and it didn't work. I didn't have any apps installed that use the framework, except the dummy stuff I wrote and those were just exe's. As far as I know there isn't anything on the machine that relies on .NET and I have trauled the directories and registry looking for stuff.

Are you suggesting using the full version uninstall to uninstall the beta? I'll give that a try, but as all the files are now gone it may not help. Anything is worth a go though!

In case anyone is interested, I got this sorted. I had to actually go into the MSI file using hexedit and fiddle with some stuff, but it finally decided to let me install it. I'm now using it and it all seems to be OK.
