Question

After uninstalling VS2012, Blend for Visual Studio 2012 is still there (both in Start Menu and in Program Files (x86)\Visual Studio 11\Blend), even after I ran the installer with /uninstall /force (which removes all optional components). How can I remove it from my system? Is there an installer for Blend?

Was it helpful?

Solution

I think I might have found a way:

  1. In C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{57F20F04-014D-453F-B6A3-AE9485C4DFAB}v5.0.30709.0\packages\Blend_Core, right-click Blend_Core.msi and click Uninstall.
  2. In C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{532DBCC8-9468-435C-AEF6-30B7F50735A2}v5.0.30709.0\packages\Blend_LP, right-click Blend_LP.msi and click Uninstall.

OTHER TIPS

I was more concerned with removing Blend from the start menu than removing it from my harddrive (because I kept opening blend accidentally when I want VS).

To do this, type blend in the start menu. Right-click on the Blend option that comes up, and click click 'Open file location' (For me, this opened C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Visual Studio 2013). Delete the link to blend from that location and it will stop appearing in the start menu.
