Looks like one uninstall corrupts the other. Either that or there is something going on under the covers that I'm not aware of.
Windows 7
SQL Server 2008R2
VS 2008 (trial)
Tried to uninstall VS 2008, and it looks like it only partially uninstalled. Is there a relatively painless way to fix this, or am I almost better off backing up my data and restoring an old image of my computer? (That will teach me to do that next time!)
When I try to uninstall of 2008R2, the uninstall fails. So does the Uninstall of VS2008. I could delete the directories, if necessary, but I'm sure my registry is a total disaster.
Any thoughts on a good place to start?
Thanks!

What error do you get when you try to uninstall SQL?
Is it possible that the VS uninstall is still marked active? Especially because you mention that the uninstall was not complete. If this is the case, you need to search Microsoft.com for an article on marking the install as complete.
If MSI thinks another MSI install/uninstall is not complete, it will not work for any other application until marked compete.
