Battlefield Vietnam Won't Install

Post by Raptor522 »

...and it's annoying as crap! When I put in the first CD, and the autorun pops up, it won't let me click "Install", and the "Uninstall" option does nothing. I know for a fact that it's nowhere on my computer, especially since I manually deleted the folder (and wiped it from the recycling bin myself), and used the Search to checked my computer for anything related to it. I think I got everything... But, it still will only let me use the useless "Uninstall" option.

If I'm not giving the right info or whatever, just tell me, I'll try to answer...

I'm not any "genius" when it comes to this stuff, so here's my question for you:
Does it have to be installed on an Administrator XP account?

Search your registry for EA or Battlefield. Tell me what comes up.

Well, I searched it for "Vietnam" and deleted all that stuff...at least, I thought I did...I just ran it for "Battlefield", and it apparently didn't get deleted somehow...it's gone now, though...but, guess what, it still won't let me install...the only other stuff would be the cookies from sites I went to to try and fix this (including this threat :D)...searching for "EA Games" did absolutely nothing...

Try searching for just EA, not EA Games. had the same thing happen for BF2, and yeah, it's really annoying.
