As mentioned in an earlier post, I recently upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. Be warned, if like me, you have Visual Studio 2010 and the .NET Framework 4 Beta 1 installed the Windows 7 upgrade breaks .NET 4 quite drastically! If only I’d seen Scott Hanselman's post first!
Luckily the following steps seemed to have done the job on my PC:
1. Uninstall VS2010 Beta
2. Uninstall .NET 4 by doing the following:
For x86 OS:
cmd /c "msiexec /x {19BD09BF-3BBD-3663-A5ED-50B6B2B07E42} /qb"
cmd /c "msiexec /x {1DF6A8F6-5048-323F-8758-DA533CE0F07E} /qb"
For amd64 OS:
cmd /c "msiexec /x {175D5555-EE49-3033-99AF-BC1E206223FD} /qb"
cmd /c "msiexec /x {13B27C82-19BA-3494-9420-F932B40673CA} /qb"
3. Reboot, just in case!
I found this in a forum post linked from Scott’s page.

Are you running 2010 beta side by side with 2008 or do you have a spare machine to install on?
I installed the beta in a Virtual PC but it ran too slowly to be worth bothering with. Am hoping beta 2 comes out soon and I might give it another go.
I'm running it side by side with 2008. The only problem is thatit upgrades projects when you open them, which then means you get warnings about tool versions in 2008. That and for some reason my customised debug toolbar disappeared.
According to the blog posts I've read, Beta 2 is a lot faster than Beta 1, so it's probably worth another go.
One thing I'm looking forward to trying out properly is the historical debugger. Sounds like a neat feature.
Thank you so much! This post just saved me TONS of headaches!!!
