    Default Can NOT Reinstall the game! Help!

    Hey folks!

    Ok here is the problem...

    I patched my vanilla Rome TW up to version 1.5 today and somehow the files got messed up and the game would crash. So I uninstalled the game with the plan of reinstalling it from scratch.

    I went and ran the setup.exe and it keeps asking me if I want to remove Rome Total War from my computer instead of allowing me to install it.

    The first time this came up, I ran the uninstall....didn't work
    Then I manually deleted all the files.....didn't work
    Then I went to add/remove programs and removed RTW....didn't work
    Then I did a manual uninstall (Removed all registry keys and all files from computer)....didn't work
    Rebooted the Computer after each of these steps...didn't work
    Finally ran launch.exe. Gave me the install option finally, clicked it, setup ran.....still asking if I want to uninstall!!!! GRRRRRRRRR!!!!

    What do I do? Is there a way to manually install?

    ARRRRRRRGGGG!!!

    Ok...so I did a system restore to before the filed got all jacked up...

    Yay! RTW and all it's files are there!!!
    Booo! When I now click on the .exe not a thing happens. The little red box shows up that says "Rome Total War" then.........NOTHING!

    Gah! What is the deal with this game!

    Since you have it back to that point, Have you tried uninstalling it, again from the add/remove programs?

    The following explains how to remove all traces of a game from a PC (I've not used it so I don't know if it works);

    What operating system are you using and what priviledges do you have?
