He got into this situation by accidentally installing Visual Studio
and / or Visual D to C:\D where I told him to install D to.
At one point I told him to delete everything in C:\D and start over.
*That* was a mistake...
He's used a trial version of Revo-Uninstaller to remove contents of
registry. The issue remains. How can we repair his system so that we
can install D on it again?
Thanks.
Skip Revo-Uninstaller, no idea why you'd ever use such trial software.
Anyway what you want is CCleaner, standard software that all Windows
installs should have on hand.
That should remove all references to VS quite happily. It does a lot
more than just modify the registry too :)
Be sure to check the latest news on CCleaner... it's been reported as
being compromised. Be sure to get a clean version. (I've not used it
as I'm not on a Windows machine.)
