Yeah, im trying to reinstall AoE3, but when I need to uninstall AoE3:WC, this is what I get:

Anyone else had this problem?

You might try two things:

1. Uninstalling the game from the game cd's auto-load screen. Very often they'll have a menu that pops up when the optical drive's autorun is triggered, and in that menu you'll often see "play", "install", "uninstall", "readme", etc etc. See if the game has that.

2. Reinstall the game, then uninstall it. I've had to do this a few times with other games, Oblivion is notorious for this.

Hmmm, 1, cant do because the Uninstall is greyed out and when I click on install, its goes to to uninstall, which leads to that error, and it dosnt have a reinstall option

It could be one of Microsoft's many schemes to prevent profit loss...

Abokasix, if you can't do either of what I suggested, the best thing is for you to contact the manufacturer's support for official help. It sounds like something might be messed up on your machine, and/or this might be a known problem with a specific procedure to fix.

Hmm....maybe try to do it through add/remove programs in control panel. Don't know if it'll help, but it might.

As a desperate last measure, just delete it manually and then get rid of the registry files with one of those registry cleaners or something I guess.

Did add/remove a million times, and manual delete, I HAVE done before that, but not with registry cleaner, can you suggest one I can use?
