Vista - Uninstall Call of Duty

Hey Brink,

Say, can you tell me a way to uninstall Call of Duty other than through putting in the disk and pressing UNINSTALL or in the 'All Programs'? Because it just won't uninstall there: I press install and the window simply closes and nothing else. I am asking this because I have found some patches on the Activision website (now I can get on it again) and I wan't to reinstall it...

Greetings,

Amplid

* I press uninstall...

Sorry

Amplid

LOL, no problem. Glad you got it.

Haha, no sorry Brink that's not what I meant but situation has changed nevertheless The Call of Duty icon isn't in my 'uninstall a program' anymore, which should mean it's not installed on my pc anymore and I can't find it in the Windows Install Clean Up either, but when I put in the disk, it still says: "play singleplayer, play multiplayer, uninstall (so NO install as it should say)"....:s help!:d (sorry for the misunderstanding)

Amplid

Check in your C:\Program Files for a folder with the name of the maker for "The Call of Duty" to see if it is still there with file in it. If so, you might try running the uninstall option from the disk to see what it says.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

No it's not in there anymore, I already checked and just did again, but tha s I should get an 'install' option from my disk right, but as I said, I onet single player, multiplayer, and uninstall. Should I try something with the disk?

Thanks so far

Amplid

Amplid,

You can try the uninstall option from the disk to see if it can cleanup anything that may be left over.

If you feel comfortable in the registry, you can also go to the registry and click on Edit and Find on the toolbar. Type in Call of Duty and click Find Next. Right click on anything that it finds related to Call of Duty and click Delete, then click on Edit and Find Next again. Repeat this until it does not find anything else on Call of Duty and is finished.

WARNING:
Be careful in the registry. Deleting the wrong key can result in the need to reinstall Vista.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Ok, I do not feel comfortable in the registry seen as I don't remember what that is again... I don't want to screw anything up. The problem with the disk is that when I click the uninstall button after inserting it, I get a little flash of something I assume to be Installshield, but I can't even see What it is and then it closes again like nothing ever happened, like I never even iunserted the disk... So if there is any safe way you can tell me to check in the registry... But off course only if you have a moment

Thanks already as usual,

Ampid

Amplid,

Have you already tried reinstalling it, then see if it would uninstall smoothly from Programs and Features?

Shawn, I had a similar problem with COD (the first version) on my old computer. Apparently I never got it "uninstalled" and yet it would not let me reinstall it. Remember that uninstall tool I sent you? Think that would help Amplid? LOL Or is it something that folks like he and I should leave alone? It helped with my Halo problem (along the same lines as he is experiencing with COD) on this computer though.......... just a thought.
