wont let me install after the first attempt failed

[wierdo5000]

Ok so heres the gist of it:

I was installing RTW onto my new laptop, but halfway through, the program crashed and i could only reboot the comp. I rebooted it and RTW was listed under my programs in the start menu. However it wasnt listed in the programs under control panel. So as a result I couldnt uninstall it.

So then I went and deleted all the files pertaining to RTW but i still couldnt reinstall it. This is driving me nuts.

Basically the menu says, after i push into the disc, the only option is to play while the install option is grayed out.

In other words, i cant install rome total war due to the fact that the install shield program crashed before the install could finish. Any help?

Just type in the box above the Start button.
