visual studio 2013 - Can not uninstall VS2013 CE -
i had vs2013 community edition installed on hard disk. unfortunately hard disk died sudden death days ago.
now cannot uninstall / reinstall vs2013 community edition, because cancels process saying missing several packages.
also command vs_community.exe /uninstall /force fails same report.
is there way can "manually" remove files or registry entries setup thinks there no vs2013 installed?
thank much!

ok, managed solve problem.
partially followed guide: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/248697
used process monitor, launching vs_community.exe filtering vs, visual studio, 12.0, etc.
also total commander, searching files , directories containing mentioned strings , deleting them.
additionally removed tons of registry entries using regedit , searching strings.
hope didn't break important in process. :d
then launching vs_community.exe /uninstall /force 1 last time. time went through without aborting.
and got desired screen ... phew!
