Uninstalling Previous Versions of Visual Studio 2005

For best results, install on a computer that has not had pre-release (Tech Preview, Beta, or CTP) versions of SQL 2005, Visual Studio 2005, or the .NET Framework 2.0 installed on it.

If your computer has any of the pre-release (Tech Preview, Beta, or CTP) versions on it, they must be removed in the correct order BEFORE you begin installing the release version. This process is not officially supported.

  1. Go to the Control Panel and launch Add/Remove Programs
  2. Remove all SQL Server 2005 products
  3. Either run the uninstall tool, or follow the manual uninstall instructions below
  4. Install the product or products you wish to use

Most pre-release projects can be carried forward to the release version. Details on any changes needed for forward compatibility.   If you have problems, take a look at this link or report your specific issue on the Visual Studio Express Forum, SQL Server Express Forum or the Visual Studio Forums
