    Icon5 Uninstalling 2.1a...

    I recently downloaded 2.5 with the intention of playing a campaign with the new version (due to the prevalence of the Coward trait in 2.1a) however there is no installer in the mod folder... furthermore, it doesn't appear under the programs list in the Control Panel... however, when I start it up it works fine so it is installed... how do I uninstall it? I don't want to just delete all the files as I'm sure it will cause errors on my system... thanks for the help!

    No installer in the mod folder? Surely the installer is downloaded and then you run it against your doner R:TW install?

    That's exactly how to uninstall RSII from your PC - delete all traces of it.

    We do suggest that you keep a clean working vanilla R:TW install and copy that to a new location for RSII to be installed onto it (disc space is usually plentiful). So, if you followed the suggestion then your original install of R:TW will remain unaffected as will any registry entries.

    Yes I did make a copy of RTW and I installed RS 2.1a over that copy. So just to verify, deleting that modded copied folder will not affect my registry?

    Deleting the copy won't affect the registry entry of the original.

    It's one of the advantages of this method of installing. The other one is that there is no need to uninstall/reinstall R:TW. I was happy to be told to do this way back when I'd started to play back in 2006(?). Having to uninstalled/reinstalled with the three CD-ROM version of R:TW (1.0) was a real pain.
