Uninstall problem

[Nellup]

Assuming you have Windows XP - Press Start, then Help and Support.

On the right hand side there should be a sentance that says "Undo changes to your computer with System Restore" Click that.

Check to make sure that "Restore my computer to an earlier time" is the selected option then click next.

On the calendar find the day you installed EB on (that should be the 9th if it was yesturday) and click on it. Now look and see what time the system checkpoint was on that day, if it was before you installed EB then click next, if not go back a day and use that system checkpoint.

If you want, read through the information on this page and then click next to restore your computer.

Hope it works

Still no luck. I've restored the friday situation, but no luck. What's worse, the restored Rome won't even start, and all folders in the Rome - Total War folder appear to be empty of files such as textures. Which is strange, because it was definitely working saturday afternoon.

Uninstall still doesn't work, not for Rome or for Alexander. Alexander it does absolutely nothing, for Rome it briefly shows a loading bar for InstallShield Wizard but then gives up.

Well, you should try manually getting rid of the folders that have anything to do with the game. A bit like Caius said, only manually. See if that reg. cleaner missed something.

Try this link,

If that doesn't work, it really isn't as advanced as the warning states, then report back.

Thanks to all who helped; after restoring to friday the uninstall on the splash screen still didn't work, but the setup when exploring the Rome disc did and I could uninstall. Curious. But the result is a new Rome install with EB 0.8, so I can play that when I'm home again in a few weeks!

Special thanks to Caius for CCleaner, after running the system seems to be running more smoothely.

Beat me to it. I was going to suggest either that^ or backing up the registry and searching it for everything related to RTW and removing it.
