    Default Unable to Uninstall BI

    I would post this in the Software/Hardware forum, but I seem to be prohibited from posting there.

    Anyway, I recently discovered that I am unable to uninstall, as well as reinstall, BI. Whenever I try to, I get an error message that says:

    "Error Loading C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\INSTAL~1\PROFES~1\Runtime\0701\Intel32\Ctor.dll

    The specified module could not be found."

    I seem to be missing the uninstaller program (or something like that)

    When I looked in C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\INSTAL~1\PROFES~1\Runtime\0701\Intel32\ (minus the missing program, which if I typed in would come up with the same error message) I find one "DotNetInstaller" program created by the InstallShield Software Company, but no "Ctor.dll" obviously.

    Is there anything that I can do that does not involve manually deleting all bi files?

    Bump.

    Though It's not really urgent, I would still like someone to help me solve this problem sometime soon.

    Find in the CD of BI the file, copy and paste in the directory of uninstall, and run it again

    Wait, explain that in a little more detail... do you mean I should load something off the CD? I am unable to RE-install as well, if that is what you are telling me to do.

    Uninstall everything you can normally, then use the Add/Remove feature from your control panel. Scan your drive's whole registry, and delete everything that you FIRMLY believe belongs to the game. If this step makes uncomfortable, download this
    and run it once. It should clear things up. You may also want to run Check disk, delete some unnecessary files, and defragment your drive(all from control panel).
    Check your CD or damage or dirt, shut off all security, and try to reinstall.

    From what I understand, you tried to uninstall an expansion. This will screw up any game you might play, so it's generally not a good idea. BTW, my prior post always worked for any installation issues I had, but there may be less extreme methods.
