Cannot uninstall dangerous waters

bstanko6 · 02-04-19, 07:55 AM

I amtrying to remove DW so I can reinstall. I get an error "an installation support file could not be installed - catastrophic failure" then it stops. Cannot go further. I tried reinstalling, uninstalling. Same message. Please help!

Which version of DW are you talking about? Old school CD, Strategy First download, or Steam? RA or LWAMI mod installed or just vanilla? Also, what OS are you running and how up-to-date is it?

Cd. I should give background. I was trying to uninstall a whole ago, and for some reason there were files still in my hard drive, so I removed them manual,y, and now I cannot uninstall at all!

i even tried purchasing on steam eventhough i have the disc, and it does not work!

Obviously whatever file installs the game also uninstalls it. Can any tell me is there a way to manually install this game from start to finish? Maybe that would help?

We can't tell you much if we don't know what you're working with.

What operating system are you running and is it up to date?
Do you have any diagnostic or maint. programs installed like CCleaner?

If you're running a version of MS Windows, do you know how to run the Win Uninstall command?

Which version of DW are you trying to get rid of? If you have the install CD, what does it say on it? Where was DW installed to? What was the file path?
