I have been trying to uninstall a copy of Meadal of Honour but there is a 3.16MB of data remaining. I have searched in program and windows files for the data to manually delete but I cant find it.
Its a problem cause now when I try to install the game again all I get is the Installshield asking me to repair,modify or remove the installation. yeah I have chosen all three options and nothing seems to work.
Anyone know what to do?
Thanx!:mad:

Delete the MOHHA key from: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall

It will be something like {3075C5C3-0807-4924-AF8F-FF27052C12AE} as it uses install shield. Also check the key to see if it stores anything in "program files\common\install shield\???" as you probably want to deltete that too.

Once you have done that, you can reinstall.

If you have no idea, then I really don't suggest messing with your registry.

However to access your registry goto run and type "regedit". (no quotes).
Once in double click first on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and then on SOFTWARE, etc. untill you get to Uninstall.

Look through all the {3075C5C3-0807-4924-AF8F-FF27052C12AE} type keys untill you find one that says it is MOHAA, have a read to see where it stores the install shield files and delete them, although this is probably not necessary. Delete the MOHAA uninstall KEY and then you can reinstall.

There is a handy little program called Regcleaner. It removes registry entries very easy. It names the entries what they are. e.g.-Mohaa etc... You can download this little beauty from www.webmasterfree.com Type in the search on that page 'Regcleaner' and D/L.
This was the program I used to remove any left over MOHAA. It also has a great uninstall and remove utility for your start-up menu. Best of all it's FREE. Great Program for people afraid of the registry files. It also backs up the items you delete in case you remove the wrong thing. Try it! It worked for me.:tup:
