Visual Studio 2010, .NET 4.0 Woes
So, I had VS 2010 RC installed, and it was working beautifully. Then I had to go and mess with things. Turns out VS2010 really HATES it when you uninstall .NET 4.0.
I had to uninstall it for a bit due to a conflict with a .NET 2.0 app, that couldn’t find the runtime when 4.0 was installed. Uninstalling it did the trick, I ran the app, and then reinstalled 4.0.
This is where the problems started.
VS2010 started complaining all the time. It’s like it knew that I’d killed it’s carnival prize fish, and replaced it with an identical one from the pet store. I checked the dependencies, they were all good, checked the mappings, they were there. VS2008 worked just fine, however, 2010 was still pouting in the corner, refusing to do any work.
I decided to “Repair/Uninstall” and see if that fixed. On most of the dependencies, I got a “The Operation Could Not Be Completed” message. BOO!
So now I’ve tried a complete uninstall, which also is giving those same damn errors. Hopefully I won’t have to reinstall Windows 7, cause that will be a big bummer.
