I have ReSharper 4.5 in Visual Studio 2008. Now I want to install ReSharper 5, but I can't do it before I uninstall ReSharper 4.5.
How can I uninstall ReSharper 4.5?

Can't you just install Resharper 5 directly? It will override the Resharper 4.5

After uninstalling Resharper from Control Panel, you might still see it in your visual studio.
So in order to remove it completely, follow these 2 steps :-
- Click on the Resharper 4.5 installer (exe file) and instead of 'Install', select 'Remove'. It works just like how the Visual Studio installer works, same exe file is used to install/uninstall the software.
- Remove the Resharper files from 'JetBrains' folder in AppData.
After doing this, visual studio will ask you to modify some settings. Restore it to default and then you're good to go.

I know this is an old post, but in VS 2017 you have to go to the Extensions panel and try to reinstall the program. When the standalone installer runs, it will give you an option to uninstall. You cannot uninstall it directly from the Extensions panel, nor does it show up in
