Continuing installation woes

Hello Robert,

actually such problems may arise when a ReSharper installation was once canceled
by e.g. killing
the "msiexec" process thus leaving a partial / corrupt data in the registry.
We have yet to figure out
how to deal with such situations gracefully (actually they seem pertinent
to all Windows Installer
based products). The standard sequence of steps we recommend to uninstall
a ReSharper build is:

1) Run the Windows Installer Cleanup utility (googling it will direct to
a MS page where one can download this tool).
This turns out to be enough in many cases.

2) If the problem still persists clean the registry manually removing all
keys and entries that contain 'ReSharper'
substring. This is boring with regedit but can be easily accomplished with
a more advanced registry editing tool
(I saw a good one but unfortunately can't remember its name; but I'm sure
it can be pretty easily found
by querying Web with 'registry editor' or smth like that).

Sorry for troubles.

As I've recounted here, I've had a really hard time getting ReSharper
installed. Towards the end of the installation I get a 1722 error and
then, after clicking OK, the whole thing rolls back. If, after the
1722 error, I run DEVENV /SETUP I can get ReSharper installed but then
I have to to kill the installer which leaves it in an unfinished
state.

I tried installing 256 the other night using this method. It seemed to
work. But after the install I checked the About Box and found I still
had 254 installed. So I tried uninstalling 254 but the uninstall
failed -- probably as a result of the installer's original unfinished
state.

So here's my question guys: are there instructions you can provide --
no matter how complex -- to manually uninstall ReSharper 2? If I could
erase all traces of 254 I could try again with the latest EAP version.

Thanks for any guidance and, despite my install issues, thanks for a
great product!
