Instaling problem

Post by qsmiron »

I had a problem with the second disk on my PC. The problem has been solved. I wanted to reinstall the game, but the installer tells me that the game is installed and that I have to uninstall it first. The thing is that I don't physically have the game on my computer, because it was deleted (a new partition was made). I used various programs to clean the registry, but it didn't help. I'm at a loss. I'm looking for a solution.

If a file or folder is left on it see it as a install, once uninstalled make sure install folder is deleted and also the one one made in with saves in it etc, or use a reg cleaner like cleaner etc to remove any left over files

I used a registry cleaner. All game files are deleted. I have no idea where the installer still sees the old installation

all is deleted. Really. there is no trace of this game. and I still can't install.
dev tell me where the installer gets the information that the game is installed?

because it looks like the game will only install after reinstalling Windows

The same problem with Combat Mission Normandie.

The installer wants to uninstall games that don't exist, the disk doesn't even exist. Because the partition and disk path have been completely changed. This is sick to the max. And the tournament is about to start eh

Uff, I found it manually using regedit - the old path to the application was the guide. All Matrix games were removed for good. And all installers started. It was clumsy but I managed.
