Hi Johann

It sounds like K2 for Visual Studio was not uninstalled successfully.

Did you uninstall Visual Studio 2015 before uninstalling K2 for Visual Studio?

When you removed K2 for Visual Studio in K2 5.0, did you use the Start Menu > K2 Setup Manager > Modify option to untick the component?

Is K2 for Visual Studio still showing up as an installed component in Programs & Features?

I’ve not tried this, but when uninstalling K2 for Visual Studio, it needs to unregister the Visual Studio components using a Visual Studio command. If Visual Studio is already uninstalled, this might fail, possible causing K2 for Visual Studio not to uninstall correctly.

I know there is Tools available to force uninstall an application, but I would not recommend it.

Cheers,

Thinus

Hi,

I installed VS 2015 a long time ago.

I uninstalled "K2 for Visual Studio 2015" using "control panel - program and features"

We do not have "Start Menu > K2 Setup Manager > Modify option" at all...

How can I tell the setup that it is not there anymore...?

regards,

Johann

Hi, Johann,

I'm a little rusty on my Installer knowledge, but there used to be a "full" vs "custom" option in the installer. Custom installs let you select which components. Based on what you describe, I wonder if you should try using the 5.3 Full Installer (not Upgrade installer) and try a Custom Install instead. That should let you deselect any Visual Studio component, which might work for you.

If that doesn't work, I would recommend you log a support ticket. I know Support has ways to help you remove components that cannot be uninstalled the "normal" way anymore.

I'd love to know how you end up solving this - whether on your own or with assistance. 

Best regards,

Gail
