This has been a rather consistent thing, but basically when I start checking items I want to clean, I have to remember to uncheck "Visual Studio Installation Packages".
The reason being, it basically breaks the Visual Studio installation so hard that it can't be updated, repaired, or uninstalled because "A dependent package cannot be found".
The fix is usually to forcibly wipe the Visual Studio folders entirely and reinstall. A bit of a pain if it just comes about from forgetting to uncheck a box.
Has anyone run into this, and found a simpler solution? And is this something CCleaner might be able to prevent through some more picky searching methods? Thanks!
