Un install

[haleon]

Can any1 help mee uninstall the game and reinstall

I cant use the uninstall in the game !

Then just remove the entire folder. What I have done for myself is I have made a zip-file including Stock PotC + Build 12, so whenever I want to reinstall, I simply remove the contents of the PotC folder and extract my zip-file instead. Then I have a completely clean version of PotC + Build 12 without doing any CD-juggling.

Thanks that sounds right

But how to do if you didnt do that ?

Can I just delete it all and hope to install original (game disc) POTC and build after ?

I don't know what will happen if you remove the program. It reckon that if you run the Setup.exe file on the disc, it should start installing whether it already was installed or not. If it won't install after removing the folder, because it claims the game is already installed, you should open up your Windows registry (Run > Type "regedit" > OK) and remove all entries that have something to do with Pirates of the Caribbean. DON'T change anything else though. It is possible to mess up your computer quite badly when doing things with the registry without knowing what you're doing.

Thanks again

When I run setup from disc now (with the game installed) it just starts the uninstall, and that dont work

There must be a computer genius out there that can help !

Setup.exe starts the uninstall, which doesn't work? Crazy! What if you rename PotC's folder (so trhe computer will look for it, but won't find it) and then start the setup? Does it start to install then? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Now Ive got a clean POTC
1. then I make a zip of the intire folder and save
2. install the 12.1 full, and make a zip of the intire folder and save
3. play and have fun

if somthing goes wrong i just unzip what I want
