SYMPTOMS
========
When you try to uninstall Visual C++ by using Control Panel, choosing Add/Remove
Programs, and selecting Visual C++, Windows 95 displays a message box containing
the following lines:
Uninstaller Error
An error occurred when trying to remove Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0.
Uninstallation has been canceled.
CAUSE
=====
Windows 95 displays this message when it cannot run the uninstall command for
the product you are trying to remove. With Visual C++, it means that it cannot
find Vcremove.exe, or otherwise is not able to run it. Vcremove.exe is the
program that uninstalls Visual C++. It is installed by the setup program into
the top-level directory of your Visual C++ installation, which by default is
Msdev. It may be that the file was accidentally deleted or corrupted.
RESOLUTION
==========
Copy Vcremove.exe from the Msdev directory on the Visual C++ compact disc to the
top-level directory of your Visual C++ installation. Then use Control Panel to
remove the product.
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.
