When I installed VS2008 (beta 2) it trashed WinFX for 2.0 (or 3.0, depending on your view); .NET 3.0 SP1 is "installed", but .NET 3.0 itself is dead, gone, no more. No dlls, no GAC, etc. I can't reinstall WinFX from the install exe, since the installer detects a newer version (presumably SP1); I can't uninstall SP1 since it refuses (would break things... hah!); the change/repair option on SP1 is a NOP. So basically, I have no working WinFX, and no way to put it back. Does anybody know a way out of this hole? VS2008 reinstall has no effect. Looking around, this doesn't seem a common problem, so I'm not saying it'll happen to you, but any help would be appreciated... I reported via connect, but it got closed with "cannot reproduce". Not very helpful. Marc |
