I feel like a wazzock
 

Ok I decided to go for a clean install of SH4 prior to mods. Game wouldn't uninstall.

Can anybody guess what I did next without thinking first ? Yeah thats right i deleted the folder :88):huh::damn:

Now the game won't re-install says it had detected a previous 1.0.3.00 version and it requires uninstalling, but there is NOTHING to uninstall.


Open to advice and meaningless flames :D


Ok i somehow managed to fix it but flame on anyway :)

I recommend attempting a reinstall of the game even though you have it on the hard drive. It might give you option of remove, repair or modify. Click repair if it does. Then uninstall after it has repaired.

I have managed to clean up and uninstall, it is reinstalling now :D

Pinhead!

(Well... you did ask)

Not your real name
 

Dinsdale lives on! This is proof that after failing miserably with his invention of 80-grit toilet paper, Dinsdale changed his name to Carcharadidntdoitdon and began a research project into Windows installation procedures. Looks like when he releases his universal uninstall program it will make us all forget about how harmful viruses are.

My advice is now have a nice hot cup of tea. :)

My suggestion would have been to do exactly waht I did when in the same shoes only a few days ago and that was to search the registry and delete any folders with Silent Hunter 4 on them. One of which contains the current version number. After that you can reinstall fine but make sure you reinstall to the same location as before to ensure all old files are overwritten.

It also happen recently to me with MTW2 as well as SH4. I think its something introduced in some recent Windows update that prevents you from installing over previous later versions. Ive never noticed it until recently. Its a right pain thats for sure.

:rotfl:

Uh... Whats a Wazzock ?

Only a Twazzock would ask, "What's a Wazzock?"

Er, um, actually... I didn't know either...

Apparently Brit-slang for idiot/moron = Wazzock
I think it has something to do with the name for a worm or something or other...

I guess for extra emphasis you can also be a Twat+Wazzock = Twazzock

Ahhh, the fascinating things I learn on the boards... :know:

I hereby appoint everyone who has taken part in this thread as an official Wazzcock.

Although I did not really participate I think this thread qualifies me to become a member of this exclusive team (and to get this cool jacket).:88):smug:
