Unable to find installed VS Professional 2010 seeing only Ultimate version

Question

2 months back, installed VS Ultimate 2010 Trial version. Have 33 days remaining.

Today installed VS Professional 2010. Now unable to open Professional edition. Only Ultimate version is visible/working, still says 33days remaining.

How do I get to open and create apps/work with VS Professional?

Thanks

Hi DevPack,

you can not install Different Version of Visual Studio 2010 in Same OS.

if you want to use VS 2010 Professional then you have to uninstall VS 2010 Ultimate.

Answer 2

Thanks for your response.

But in Control Panel>Programs I am able to see both the Ultimate version as well the Professional version as Installed.

Does this mean if I uninstall the Ultimate version now will Professional become default VS version?

Answer 3

You may be able to see both, but they both cannot work on the same system.

Remove the Ultimate trial, then reinstall Professional.

Answer 4

Hi Devpack,

Please use Visual Studio 2010 Uninstall Utility to remove Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. Then install Visual Studio 2010 Professional again.
