What should I do? (Problem with uninstalling)

[PYROphonez]

I was just uninstalling Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition, and just like every other Microsoft program, it's not working properly. It just stopped uninstalling at about 10%. Not frozen, but it just stopped moving. What do I do? End the process and start over?

Suggestions?

I ended the process and attempted to start it up again, but it deleted a file required to uninstall.... Gotta love Microsoft...

I then deleted the folder, but of course that doesn't fix everything.

Dump MS Windows and install a "real" operating system!

Seriously. How about reinstalling Visual C++, then try to uninstall again.
Because your previous installation might have been broken, causing the uninstall process to halt.

Agreed. A halting uninstall is a bad thing...file fragments everywhere! Better to start over with good files...

@krmathis: I dualboot linux!

I may reinstall later, but I'm way too lazy right now. I've got some stuff to do anyways.

Great! Then the next move is to delete the Windows partition, and go 100% GNU/Linux. He he

I would consider doing that if my X-fi card was supported, and I didn't have a Radeon.

Either way, I gotta be able to play my counter strike. I couldn't get steam running on wine.
