hi I just bought battlefield vietnam yesterday. I uninstalled battlefield vietnam wrong by just right clicking on the battlefield vietnam folder and I pressed delete. I didn't go to add/remove programs. I mest up. And know when I want to Install it again It says that it is already installed but it isn't. Can somebody help me please. thanks.
Try doing a system restore to a point when the game was still fully installed and then uninstall it properly.
If you haven't emptied your recycle bin it should still be there.. Just go and retore the directory you zapped.. Hope this helps Matt
There also might be some registry files it is still looking at. Which makes it think the game is still installed. You might have to go in there and clean all those out. Also...Is the game still on the list of add/remove programs? If so, try to uninstall, it might ask you to remove it since it is no longer needed or something like that. Once its off the list, try reinstalling the game. BTW, thats a great game. Although I've mostly been playing UT2004.
I did system restore already and its still the same. I already emptyed out the recycle bin too. But how can I clean the registry files can that be it.
Go To Start>Run>type 'regedit'>hit the enter key Then do a search for any names associated with the game. Ex. Companies,Name of the game(duh, lol) When you find something. Delete it. You might wanna delete the folder, otherwise your gonna be deleting key values,strings,etc. till you get a hand cramp.
