Microsoft .net Framework Cleanup Tool

The Microsoft .net Framework is being used by a wide variety of software applications. Microsoft made the decision to provide the different .net Framework versions as separate installations. This effectively means that someone who installs the Microsoft .net Framework 3.5 on his computer will automatically install the previous .net Framework versions as well for backward compatibility.
It can happen that the uninstallation or repair of a .net Framework installation fails which can have the effect that a new installation wont succeed either. Manually removing the leftovers to be able to install the framework anew is a complex process.
A far better solution would be to run a cleanup tool that will remove all traces of the Microsoft .net Framework from the computer system.
Aaron Stebner's (via Raymond) Microsoft .net Framework Cleanup Tool is that software program. The portable application scans the computer system for installed .net Framework versions.

It will display them in a list with the option to uninstall a specific .net Framework version or all of them from the computer system. The software developer points out that his application should be used as a last resort if the regular installation or uninstallation of the Microsoft .net Framework fails on the computer.
