Trouble upgrading from Beta 2 to release

[StevenK]

I have Windows 2000 on my laptop. I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Beta 2 for some time and have started the process of updating this to the current full release (as the Beta version has been throwning up some errors).
On attempting to uninstall / reinstall .NET Beta 2 from my machine it keeps stopping on the stage 'AddVsDevelopersToIisMetabase'. What would cause this ?
I now have a machine whereby I cannot develop on it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Steve

When reinstalling / uninstalling the processes seem to halt when running the stages 'AddVsDevelopersToIisMetabase' OR 'DeleteVsDiscoAppMeppingFromIisMetabase'. The procedures come to a stand-still and hav not progressed any further after a wait of an hour or so.

Has anyone seen this in their upgrades or seen any documentation about this issue ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Steve

It sounds like your IIS metabase has become corrupt. You might try removing & reinstalling IIS, and then restarting your .NET installation.
