Unhappy Mohaa



I recently deleted MOHAA (medal of honour allied assault)

After trying to re-install it I am faced with a screen giving me the choice of *modify* *repair* or *remove*

I have tried all 3 to get it to work, but none have worked

I have read that i need to delete some sort of registry thing, but i dont know which one?

please can i have some help

you have to delete the game folder. Just use the windows search. search for Medal of Honor. there should be a folder named medal of honor just delete that and it should work

You have to uninstall games, not just delete them.

If you go to the control panel (which can be found in Start > Settings) you will see something called "Add or remove programs". Here is a list of everything installed.

MOHAA will still be listed as Windows still thinks it exists. You could try to remove it from here.

I would've thought repair would have helped, though. But apparently not...

I recently had the exact same problem on my other PC with the same game. The game didn't install properly, wouldn't run, and I got the same options in the uninstall screen. Basically Windows thought the game was installed when it wasn't (3 MB in the game folder).

I fixed it by downloading the trial of Advanced Uninstaller Pro and did a "forced removal". It worked and I was able to correctly install the game.
