Help Please

I have searched around and can not find the error I am receiving when installing the game.

I recently repurchased the original medieval total war (planning on some single player and LAN action) but when I go to install it on my computer I receive the error message:

An earlier version of Medieval - Total War has been detected. Please uninstall this before installing Medieval - Total War - Gold Edition.

I have searched and searched, hidden files, the lot and can find nothing linked to the game I had installed on here over a year ago.

Anyone else come accross this and if so how did you fix?

Thanks

You need to install from the setup folder on the CDROm and not from the autrun menu. There should a file called setup.exe in one of the folders, running that will allow you to install.

Its in the Registry-the old MTW. But Gold is not "original"-is that the one you re trying to install? If so theres always this problem with previous versions.

Go to Run

Type in: regedit

Find :HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in the left window.

Click the small + sign and it ll expand downwards

Now find : SOFTWARE

Click the little + sign next to it

It will expand down

Scroll down-the list is in alphabetical order.

Find a folder called :Total War

Right click it

Choose delete.


That should get rid of the old versions traces.
