I had a problem when trying to uninstall Window Phone Developer Tools CTP. I clicked “repair” instead of “uninstall”. Then I hit cancel and stupidly told the uninstaller to uninstall with “recommended setting”… E.g. Compatibility Mode.
I tried deleting the registry entries and still could not uninstall. Finally found what was wrong and hope this helps some other fool who makes the same mistake….
Go to “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone CTP – ENU” then find the setup.exe. Right click and go to properties. If “Run the program in compatibility mode” is checked, uncheck it. If you see “Show settings for all users” at the bottom (picture 1), check to see if compatibility mode is checked for all users (picture 2).

I need to clean up my work notebook because it is slowing down and I have just way to much garbage on the computer. Work doesn’t let me format the drive and install they way I liked. So I need to do a lot of manual clean up occasionally, because of my employers concept of “Dell put it on there for a reason” and “we control what is the base install” for all computers, I am stuck with a lot of crap that creates long load times. It’s not like I am in a software R&D group! If they had bought the notebook I wanted, I could have just used Virtual Machines…. But I digress.

As an update, I have been swamped over the last few weeks with my real job and that slowed down my testing of the 2010 NFL spreadsheet to a crawl (actually a dead stop). With the help of a new volunteer (thanks George), it looks like I am close to finishing the spreadsheet. So hopefully in the next week or so, it will be ready for purchase.

Last year I released an Excel spread sheet for the 2009 NFL season. It was downloaded 1013 times from September 2009 thru June 2010 (900 during the season). After releasing it I received a few requests to modify the spread sheet. So this year, I will release two version: 10 player and 20-40 player version (not finished yet). I will release the 2010 version around July after I finish testing it, writing up some documentation and making a screencast to teach users how to run the spread sheet. The spread sheet is to try and raise funds for a food pantry and maybe another charity (ASPCA?).
This is part II of what I’ve done to an Excel spread sheet programmatically…
A few weeks ago I posted how to hide and unhide Excel rows with VB.NET, so now lets help the user by creating a button and having it copy the range of information to be pasted in another document (email, Word, ect..).
This is a really short post because the code is so simple.
First, make a button on the excel page.
Second, use this code to copy a range.
Code Snippet
- Private Sub copyButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles copyButton.Click
