In what order do I remove the RC1 components? The readme above has a
link to a page containing this info, but that page is way out of date
and refers to Beta 1 and Beta 2 installs that I do not have.

Specifically, I have the .NET runtime, the Windows SDK, and the Orcas
install.

Thanks,
Chuck

....and the SDK:

The instructions for this download say:
"This article describes how to uninstall pre-release versions of Microsoft .NET Framework
3.0 if the typical uninstall process is unsuccessful."

And further down: "If your computer has a pre-release version on it, follow the Uninstall
Instructions below to uninstall these pre-release bits before installing the Microsoft
..NET Framework CTP. You must remove them in the correct order to ensure a clean
uninstall."

So, my question is, what is the correct order? The uninstall instructions mentioned above
are seriously out of date, they refer to Beta 1 and 2 products and don't mention the SDK
or Orcas components.

I installed the June/July CTP's and their uninstallers worked fine.

Thanks,
Chuck

I ended up uninstalling in reverse order from what I could remember:
-- Orcas
-- Windows SDK
-- .NET Framework 3.0

That worked fine for me.
