Uninstall Error- 1st time its happened. *SOLVED*

Post by VF501 »

Ok, I needed to unistall GTA for a bit to freeup space. I ran the uninstaller and got the following error.

I have searched everywhere for solutions and tried all the ones I have found.
Nothing worked.

I've done whatever registry cleans and .dll fixes I can with the software I can currently afford (dont have and extra $40 lying about for registry mechanic- its free scan found 2000+ errors :shock: and unregistered only fixes a few).

Anyone know how to fix this? Or do I delete all the data, remove its entry from the add/remove prgram list, and go an clean it manually from the registry?

The last program I installed was SWBF2 without and problems.

EDIT: SOLVED Did a complete manual uninstall.

For your registry problems, try CCleaner. Just a hint..It might help a bit. Also search "Registry cleaner" at Download.com for some other good ones if CCleaner doesn't work.

Already solved this problem long ago. CCleaner, which I've had for a long time, did squat, as did the Ss-Tools Registry Fixer (free but limited in what it finds). So I edited the registry by hand, and taught myself how to do a complete and thorough manual uninstall. Had to do it once on SWBF2 one time too, and CoD:UO.

Thanks for trying to help though, and next time look at post date and title to avoid the Wrath of the Mods.

:D
