    Default earlier version of rome total war detected

    Im trying to install the golden edition and this error comes up.
    Rome total war is not in my 'uninstall a program' and i even used 'microsoft fix it' and that program does not find rome. when i search rome in 'start' it comesup with 1 program 'uninstall - rome total war' and when i click it, nothing happens.
    how the hell do i delete the older version of rome total war, i have widows 7

    What version of Windows are you using?
    What exactly is the old version you are trying to delete?
    Have you used regedit searching for things like rome, activision, barabarian, creative, etc.?

    What version of Windows are you using? windows 7
    What exactly is the old version you are trying to delete? the earlier version is the one i borrowed from my friend, just 1 cd that is rome. probably the first version
    Have you used regedit searching for things like rome, activision, barabarian, creative, etc.? no, not tech savvy

    Code:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information
    Inside each one of these is setup.ini file.
    Right-click it and open in Notepad.
    It will tell you the name of the program it is installing. Hopefully one of them has Rome total War.
    If so delete it.
