Stuck when uninstalling visual studio 2013 Update 3
visual-studio-2013
Solution
Your best bet is to uninstall Visual Studio, and then reinstall it. I haven't heard of this error before, and a Google search doesn't help in this matter.
A few things you could try:
- Repairing the disk Visual Studio is installed on (right click the disk, find and run the `Scan for Errors` tool.
- Starting your computer in `Safe Mode` and attempting to uninstall Update 3
- If you do not have a legal license to Visual Studio 2013, this could be Microsoft's way of saying 'bugger off'. In this case purchase a legal copy of Visual Studio 2013, or download the Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition.
- Restore your system to the state it was in before Visual Studio 2013 Update 3 was installed.
- Try removing all traces of Visual Studio 2013 (apart from your projects) using a tool such as CCleaner or Soft Organiser.
- Remove/deactivate any extensions installed to Visual Studio
Problem
I cannot uninstall VS 2013 Update 3 from "control panel"-> "view installed updates". It displays the message "Visual Studio 2013 Udpate 3 (KB2829760) has stopped working". How can I completely delete all the VS update elements ?
