Cant get M2TW Gold to install

My problem is i just bought the new version of Medieval 2(which includes Kingdoms).I had the original M2TW but not Kingdoms so i bought the gold version,which was the same price as Kingdoms separately,but since deleting my original installation of M2 i cant install it using the gold edition.

oh yeah im using Vista if that helps

When you deleted the original did you run the uninstaller properly or just delete the game folder?

whenever i tried to run the uninstaller it assumed i wanted to reinstall it for some reason.so i just decided to delete the folder.does it make any difference?

what happened the old version left files in your system and PLENTY of registry keys in your registry - you will have to delete them from your registry. One thing though - if you dont now what to do in the registry then dont do it as it is very easy to mess up your system.
After the registry entries are gone your game will install as there will be no more trace of the old installation!

if i just used ccleaner would that do it or would i have to do it manually i.e check every file on my pc?

Go to the Control Panel and uninstall the game there and make sure it is not in the list, then try to reinstall.

That would do nothing if the uninstaller was broken which is why he deleted the game folder in the first place.

allright i followed the instructions and removed all traces of M2 and Sega but when i tried to re-install it i got an error message saying "Cannot determine the installed games language for m2tw" could some1 please explain what that means and if/how i can rectify this.

From my understanding, the language of the game has to be the same as the language as the computer's operating system. UK for UK, French for French, etc. After that, I don't know.
