Help on Installing VB & VS Beta 2 and Uninstalling Previous Builds

Hi-

We are seeing a number of discussions about issues having to do with VB or VS Beta2 not working properly on a machine that had a previous installation.

Members of our team responsible for setup/installation are actively working on solutions, tools, and documents describing how to resolve.

You can see links to the discussions and solutions here:

Hopefully this helps.

Best,

I have had all sorts of problems with lots of missing resources etc ... when I installed vb beta 2 on a system where vb beta 1 was when I tried to install it on a clean system and all of the missing resources all of sudden are there. I had posted quite a bug fixes about them.

You can install VB 6 first then install VB 2005 Beta2, but you will lost some resources ie Font picker, color picker.

You CAN NOT install VB 6 after VB 2005 Beta2. It will crash the whole system!!!!

Think before do:)
