Manual uninstall from windows (windows wont uninstall bf2)

[rabidsheeep]

Ello all, I've got a little issue.

The patch for BF2 wasn't working, so I decided to uninstall and reinstall the game.

I thought I had the game uninstalled, so I tried to reinstall, and the installshield crashed. I then went to uninstall the game from the add and remove programs in control panel, but that wont work (the load bar pops up then spontaniously closes with no message)

I deleted the BF2 folder, yet the system wont recognize that the game isn't installed.

Any way to manually uninstall it, so I can try to reinstall it?

Any help appreciated

thanks.

Hi rabidsheep

1) If you haven't restarted your system since you tried the uninstall, try rebooting.
2) If Battlefield 2 still shows as not having uninstalled, try one more time from Add/Remove, & restart.
3) If it is still there, download and install CCleaner ( http://www.download.com/CCleaner/300...ml?tag=lst-0-1 )
4) From Windows Explorer, find the Battlefield 2 folders in "Program Files", and delete them with by pressing shift-DEL (both keys at the same time - we don't want to waste time filling & emptying your Recycle Bin with huge files)
5) Run CCleaner.
6) Try reinstalling your game.

That usually works.

Best of luck

[PS ... do make sure that is only the Battlefield folders that are selected when you press shift-delete!]

And just to add something on Garry's post you will have to use regedit and delete all game enteries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software

And you can check this folders: C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Application Data ; C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Local Settings\Application Data to delete it manualy!!!
