After updating the TFS 2010 client from Beta2 to RC on my SharePoint development machine I found that I couldn’t control IIS using IISRESET, with a message usually of the following format…

Attempting stop…

Stop attempt failed.

As anyone who does SharePoint development knows, not being able to restart IIS periodically is a bit of a annoyance and I didn’t want to keep going into IIS Manager to do this.

Turns out this is a problem with uninstalling Microsoft .NET 4.0 Beta 2 and the solution is to repair the Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile.
