I would like to uninstall VS2005 to reclaim drive space but have heard that bad things can happen? <br> <br> Can I un-install VS2005 without serious collateral damage?<br>Thu, 25 Jun 2009 07:07:02 GMTMichael Reesehttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost23674.aspxLOL...good to hear :)Thu, 25 Jun 2009 07:07:02 GMTTrent L. Taylorhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost23671.aspxGuess I got lucky for once. I uninstalled it and so good do far? <br> <br> Thanks Guys!Wed, 24 Jun 2009 21:39:02 GMTMichael Reesehttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost23668.aspxHi Michael,<br> <br> I removed VS2005 prior to installing VS 2008 and did not have any issues with that, and later I did the same with MSSQL2005 before installing MSSQL2008.Wed, 24 Jun 2009 21:09:51 GMTEdhy Rijohttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost23666.aspxTruthfully, I tend to agree with Keith...safer route for sure! ;)Wed, 24 Jun 2009 10:49:42 GMTTrent L. Taylorhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost23665.aspxIf it were me I would rather buy a bigger hard drive and image my old one to it than uninstall. I have just seen too many instances in the last 6 months where a change to my development environment hosed some small (but important) underpining of either VS, .NET&nbsp;frameowork, registry, third party controls, etc.</P><P>My 2 cents.Wed, 24 Jun 2009 10:02:43 GMTKeith Chisarikhttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost23664.aspxI don't see any issue with doing that. In a worst case scenario, you may have to reload VS2008 back. But this should be more than doable.Wed, 24 Jun 2009 09:11:11 GMTTrent L. Taylor
