Removing MSDN

Question

I want to remove the whole program.  I do not see it on add/delete.

Answer 1

Hello unkown,

insert the DVD or CD media. On autostart it will ask you to install it.
Right afterwards it should detect the installation and ask you if you would like to change/reinstall or remove the software.
Theoretically ;-)

Hi Seahag1013,

Which edition of Visual Studio are you running now? Do you mean "Microsoft Document Explorer"?

If yes, could you please try the following tools to remove it?

- Use msiinv.exe: http://cid-27e6a35d1a492af7.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Blog%7C_Tools/msiinv.zip
This tool (which stands for MSI Inventory) wraps some of the publicly documented MSI APIs to provide information about the state of all Windows Installer products, features and components that Windows Installer thinks are installed on your computer.
For more information, see: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/07/01/using-msiinv-to-gather-information-about-what-is-installed-on-a-computer.aspx

- Windows Installer Cleanup Utility
With the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, you can remove a program's Windows Installer configuration information. You may want to remove the Windows Installer configuration information for your program if you experience installation (Setup) problems.
For more information, see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

Let me know if it works.

Thanks
