Uninstall instructions for pre-RTM builds
With the availability of the RTM versions of the .NET Framework 2.0, Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 I decided to install the Team Suite edition natively on my laptop. The uninstall of previous versions and the install of the RTM version went very smooth.
If you have installed previous versions of Visual Studio 2005, such as Beta 1 or Beta 2, make sure to run the auto-uninstall tool. You can of course also manually uninstall without using the tool, but note that you have to uninstall all Visual Studio 2005 product editions before you uninstall the .NET Framework 2.0. The tool will uninstall all pre-release Visual Studio 2005 editions such as Visual Studio Express, Visual Studio Team System, Professional, and Standard edition. More Pre-RTM Uninstall Instructions can be found on http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/uninstall/preRTMuninstall/default.aspx.
Yesterday and today I compiled almost all of my demo projects and samples to the RTM build of the .NET Framework. So far I haven't ran into any big issues. Next projects on the list to be recompiled are the projects with dependencies on Team Foundation Server. It looks like I need the Beta 3 Refresh to get started with that!
