Tip: Uninstall Web Application Projects Before Installing Visual Studio SP1 Beta

  I suggested this over Connect already but IMHO it would be much wiser to make the SP1 installer to uninstall the previous VS WAP automatically (maybe a dialog)

  It would be nice to know how to uninstall WAP in the first place. I installed SP1 beta and there was no message like you have posted.
