I can't uninstall Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express, why? ?

Question

In the middle of uninstallation after clicking uninstall option in the set up wizard, an error message "Set up is unable to determine a valid order for the installation. see the error log for further details." pop up. Can anyone help me out? Ths.

Answer 1

It seems to be unwilling to uninstall it, because it cannot determine that it was proprly installed (or a legal copy).

Go to the Start menu, do Search, to find out everywhere there are parts of this program in your computer. Then delete those folders and files. (If a few small shared files are left in the System folder, that does not matter). Then download (free) and run CCleaner, which will clear out the heaps of Registry entries that a normal uninstallation would remove for you.
