I want to install the .Net release candidate on my Win2K server platform. To do so I need to uninstall beta2 but it won't let me! I go through the uninstall process (yes, through the control panel's add/remove programs) but I got error messages. When I run uninstall now it tells me "Setup is unable to determine a valid ordering for the installation. See the error log for further details". The error log is no help because it doesn't tell me what to fix.

When I try to install the new version of .Net over it, I get the error message "set up has detected that a previous version of Visual Studio .Net is installed, uninstall it first blah blah blah". So now I am dead in the water!

I was successfully able to uninstall the framework, but not Visual Studio .Net.

Help!!
Thanks in advance.
