Can I simply remove registry entries and the C:开发者_运维技巧\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.21006 directory?

I just did this the other day. I used "Uninstall Programs" (formerly "Add/Remove Programs") in Control Panel to remove everything that had "beta 2" in the name.

In addition to removing all keys under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4 I had to also remove this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4.0 After doing this, the uninstaller for client profile beta 2 no longer complains.

I had major trouble uninstalling the .net framework 4.0 (non-beta). came across this app, which may help others:
