SYMPTOMS
When you remove the Microsoft Visual J# .NET Redistributable Package in silent mode, the source file VJSharpRDP1033.msi may be deleted from the source folder. This occurs only if you have installed the Microsoft Visual J# .NET Redistributable Package in silent mode. This behavior also occurs when you remove the Microsoft Visual J# .NET Redistributable Package over a network and the network share has write permissions. Installation and removal of Visual J# .NET in silent mode is not supported.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use either of the following methods:  Use Add or Remove Programs to remove Microsoft Visual J# .NET. To do this, follow these steps:  Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. In Control Panel, double-click Add or Remove Programs. In the Currently Installed Programs list, click Microsoft Visual J# .NET Redistributable Package. Click Remove.

-or- Assign only read permissions to the source folder that contains the VJSharpRDP1033.msi file. This is the source folder that you use to install or remove the program in silent mode.
