Installation problem

[Russ_Ace]

Hi all.
I had uninstalled M2TW gold a while ago but i would like to reinstall it. When i go to install it i click install. it loads for a second then a pop up says "All Medieval II Total War: Gold products are already installed. Aborting installlation". I looked threw my whole computer and couldint find any M2TW files. I even checked all hidden files.

a thanks would be in order for all help.

Do you know how to open the Registry? Some of the steps you need to take in that walkthrough require opening the Registry and deleting reg keys. Before you do so however you should absolutely make a Restore Point on your system. This provides a backup should you make a mistake and delete something you should not have.

For that matter - do you know how to make a Restore Point?

Just what files weren't you able to find?

Let us know. Good luck!

You're headed in the right direction. Delete the one in Program Files (x86), too? If you did run a good registry cleaner.

@ irishron:
yep thats the only one i could find and its gone.

@PoleCat:
1) Yes.
2) no (but i make backups in my HP(D: ) witch is my backup).
3)I wasint able to find:
{75983B66-804C-40D1-BA13-64DAF652A6F1}
{C0698BDA-0D29-40EE-8570-A31106DF9AB1}
{02A10468-2F1C-447C-AD8E-4DEDDEA25AE2}
{7AEE1963-7001-4C37-BC20-2FAEB74AA41C}

I could find the Installshield Information folder but none of the files the websight listed.

Those maybe the Kingdoms ones.

I finally had to peek inside each one to find them all.

I found the finder in "Run" and serched for "Medieval". I deleted all files under the search and it works now.
Thanks for all the help. I would have never of found out about run without you Irishron
