The attached image is unfortunately too small to read. Could you add a bigger one or post the text of the error?

Did you try just reinstalling over the previous "messed up" location, then uninstalling again? Sometimes that fixes a screwed up uninstall.

edit> It might not let you reinstall, but it's worth a shot.

Sorry I’m not at my computer it says it is missing an installation file, “catastrophic” failure. And I did try reinstalling and same message!

Any one know a hardcore way to remove this game. Right now I can't uninstall or install because of the catastrophic failure

In desperation, you might as a last resort, wipe the drive, and reinstall everything (Windows as well). That's guaranteed, but it's also a lot of work. If you go that route, be methodical about it, storing everything you might need to replace on the cloud or a USB drive. I generally rebuild mine once a year or sooner if I suspect any malware.
