Uninstall Call of Duty

If I'm understanding correctly Dmex, he can't. I have had the same problem with two different games, HALO2 and COD (the original). I uninstalled them but SOMETHING didn't get all the way uninstalled. You can't re install them because it says they are there and you can't uninstall them again because when you try that it says they AREN'T there lol. Does that make sense? The tool I found is supposed to take care of that. When I find it, I'll send it to you as well. I think you'll like it.

EDIT: And unlike me you will know how and when to use it lol.

Hexmaniac it isn't in the Windows Installer Clean Up list (that's what you meant, right?)...

Yes dmex, but I can't reinstall it, first of all because I can't through the disc and second of all, because it's not in my 'All programs' anymore, unless you know another way to reinstall it?

Hmm indeed Bubba, you understood correctly
Waiting for that tool, but don't rush

Thanks,

Here is the link to the description, a link to the program is around the middle of that page:

Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility

Amplid, I HIGHLY SUGGEST, that unless you really know what you are doing, to let Brink and/or Dmex look at it first. Also note what it says about not using it on Office2007.

Here is part of the description from the readme file:

WHAT IS THE WINDOWS INSTALLER CLEAN UP UTILITY?
The Windows Installer Clean Up Utility is a tool that can be used to remove Windows Installer configuration management information if a problem occurs.

*** NOTE: The Windows Installer Clean Up Utility should not be used to remove the 2007 Microsoft Office System installation information. ***

The Windows Installer configuration management information can become damaged if any of the following issues occur:

- The computer's registry becomes corrupted.

- A registry setting that is used by the Windows Installer is
inadvertently changed, and this change results in a problem.

- The installation of a program that uses Windows Installer (for
example, Microsoft Office 2003) is interrupted.

- There are multiple instances of a setup program running at the same time, or
an instance of a setup program is "blocked."

There is more, but that is the brief description.

Bubba I already had that utility/tool/program or whatever installed on my pc, but Call of Duty doesn't appear in the list...
There just has to be some little trace left of the damned game on my pc, that I cannot find and which prevents me from reinstalling and even from uninstalling Call of Duty 2...

This is all I have left. Insert the disk. Just close the launcher after it starts. Navigate to the setup.exe file and double-click.

you did? Have it installed I mean. Then maybe you did something wrong because it should bring up something different than your install/un install programs list. It did on mine. I can help you no further on this as quite simply, I lack the knowledge to comment further. I would if I could but I'm too old to make guesses to try to sound smart about things I know little about. LOL I don't even know how to run the program I linked. I just know that someone ELSE used it successfully for me. Sorry bro that i can't help you, with my limited knowledge, I tried.

Haha Hexmaniac, it was the simplest thing that brought the solution, I indeed just had to open the setup.exe manually. Could've thought of that myself:s
Although the rest probably helped too. So, problem solved!

Thanks to all you guys, Forum rules

(anyone play COD2 online?)

I glad that worked. I do InstallShield and MS Installer work on the job and that was all I had left. I was thinking some programmer put something in there that wasn't supposed to be in there. Way to stick with it, though. Most people would have bailed on this type of problem after a couple of failures.

Yeah well, I've just had some trouble when switching to Vista with drivers and compatibility problems and all that mess and it's getting better, but I want every part of it to be right

Thanks again,

Amplid
