Oh Microsoft, you dullards....

Working on a remote server for a customer - has VS 2015 installed. Microsoft has decided through it's "magic" that I don't have a license anymore. Fine, I'll update you to community edition. Nope, have to uninstall first. Okayyyy, go to the Apps and Features for VS 2015 - no uninstall option. I have to "modify" the installation. Okayyyy... it's been going for 4 hours now.

Wouldn't it be the customer who needs the license, since it's installed on their machine?
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

technically maybe? I'm a small company so on occasion I will install CE to complete some debug work. Then I remove it. Today's phrase is "if I Can remove it."

The risk here is that you end up partially removing the older version, and failing to install the new one. Then you have two problems on your hands - getting the original reinstalled, and solving its license problem.

I think I will reboot. It's a Windows Server 2022 installation. mf'r - if I wrote code this poorly, my children would have starved. Stay tuned. This soap opera is spinning up to 3-ways But wait, it won't even cancel... lmao.
