  Hi All,

  I'm trying to uninstall a freshly installed version of SQL Server 2008 64 bit that came With Visual Studio 2010 and I get the error BlockMismatchedArchitectureUninstall. According to the comment next to the error this means The CPU architectures of feature(s) you selected to removed are different then Setup. To remove these features, Setup architecture must be the same as the features being installed. However this is a freshly installed version.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Are you using a different installer than the one used for the VS install? You may have to do a full uninstall of VS, then do a selective re-install.
