Good idea. I forgot that option was a drop-down on the Installer. It's not all hugs and puppies though, because this happened: * The repair took about 20 mins and asked for a reboot. * Running VS2022 caused a flash of a window and it silently crashed and vanished. Event log reports a .NET runtime crash. * I cleaned vast numbers of vs* folders and files from %TEMP% and rebooted. * VS2022 stalled opening a Form in the designer. I closed the window and it restarted itself. * I finally opened the .NET 6.0 project Windows Forms designer and the toolbox is empty. So unfortunately, it was all futile. Good idea though. *Greg K*
