Is SAI really mod foldered?

[michell]

Hi
1. This is great mod, one of the best I have played
2. But I think, that it breaks vanilla, becouse it makes registry entries. I tried to play other mods and vanilla, but I have CDT after splashscreen, only SAI worked fine. I decided to reinstall whole RTW, but I cant install fresh vanilla until I have removed manually some registry entries (that makes SAI - I suppose).
P.S. Sorry for my bad english

Maybe you installed into the wrong folder? (it wouldn't work then, though)

[michell]

Now I have whole RTW broken - I cant find all registry entries, so I can't succesfully reinstall it. Can anyone check his vanilla RTW is ok after SAI?

SAI does not alter any RTW or BI files unless you decide to install the Intro Movie but that is an optional install. May I ask, do you have Windows XP or Vista??

Hi
I have XP, now I cant reinstall RTW - after each fresh installed vanilla I have splash screen - then CTD, I tried remove manually every RTW and BI keys from registry, but is still the same, I suppose that I cant find everythning here

If I remember correctly, one could download a program that cleared your registry. I remember this was a big issue back in the days after the release of RTW, cause for some reason the uninstaller didn't quite remove everything and thus prevented a reinstall. Perphaps someone else remembers more about this?

If SAI has tampered with your other folders then I think it may have been an incorrect installation. The SAI folder should sit inside your RTW folder. Does it do that?

[michell]

Yes, it was in RTW folder and it works fine, BI works fine too. Problem is with clean RTW - and I suppose that intro or ihatemonday sound mod is a case - CTD is always after Creative assembly logo - should be intro next - and I have CTD. CCleaner didnt help - still: fresh install-try to run RTW- CReative Assembly logo - then CTD

[Justinian Australis]

Funny that CCleaner didn't work...I had a very similar issue at one point trying to get this mod or another one...cant really recall...and this helped. Have you manually deleted all of the RTW folders where its installed? I found that there was the Activision folder left behind upon uninstallation and found as well as the registry cleanup, deleting this solved my problem.

[Blatta Optima Maxima]

Maybe you installed the soundmod into the RTW folder, not the SAI folder. That once broke my RTW too. I use ERegistry cleaner or something.

[michell]

i have used CCleaner, Glary Utlilities and Eusing Free Registry, tried remove manualyy all RTW folders and still nothing.

[michell]

Can anyone check his RTW (no BI) vanilla is working after SAI installation, please?

You can make two completely different copies of the whole RTW folder then install the mod into the second just to be completely safe, though it can use quite a bit of hard drive space if you have many mods and do this.

The problem is that I cant reinstall vanilla RTW despite using several registry cleaning programs
Fresh vanilla crash after creative assembly logo - screen turns black and CDT. I havent any ideas what to do.

If your problem is uninstalling RTW and BI completely then try Revo Uninstaller though from the looks of things, you already uninstalled it.

[Blatta Optima Maxima]

Everything works as it should for me.

[vampiric_canniba]

You are trying to run this mod without BI?

i cant run vanilla RTW and BI - despite several reinstals. Even clear vanilla crash

[michell]

Revo Uninstaller and Total Uninstaller didnt help, still after installing fresh vanilla black screen and crash

So let me get this right, you have managed to re install RTW/BI? And have you installed SAI as well? If so what does your folder look like, ie, does SAI lie within your RTW folder?

You may want to discuss this issue over at the technical forum if you are still not having any luck. I'm sorry you are having so much trouble especially when all you want to do is play. But again, let me assure you SAI is completely modfoldered, and if installed correctly into the RTW folder should work fine and couse no problems with other mods.

Of course it does require a vanilla RTW/BI folders.
