Installing Visual Studio 2005: "Visual Studio .Net prerequisites - English" deinstallation solution

if you get a message about "Visual Studio .Net prerequisites - English" that must be UNinstalled, fire up a dos box and paste

msiexec /x {4DA0DC5F-5E58-4FC0-A508-56E90AC5AAC7}

It does the job!

  • Thanks, your solution was right on point and worked great. Only one correction -- the message says that the Visual Studio .NET Prerequisites need to be uninstalled, not installed. This command uninstalls the package, which is just what is needed.
