Really Stumped now?

I am trying re-install SH5 on my Win7 Laptop. As far as I can see I have un-installed everything, yet when the disk opens the 'Install' is greyed out. Even 'Search' doesn't find anything'
Nothing in

My system is:

Acer Aspire
INtel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6400 at 2.00GHz 2.00GHz
Installed menory 3.00GB

Hi , I got a similar problem, this is how I sorted it out with the help of Ubisoft Technical Support. may be can help you

Hello, I uninstalled yesterday my old STANDARD version of SH5 and deleted from my PC everything related to silent Hunter 5 and also deleted SH5 ( even from the registry ) and now I want to install my new Silent Hunter 5 COLLECTOR edition, but the installer is telling me that I must uninstall the previous 1.02.00 version , I already uninstalled and deleted everything related to Silent Hunter 5 and therefore there is nothing about SH5 left inside my PC ,at the moment I dont know what to do, can you help please ? I attached to this message an screenshot of the error problem that the installer is talking about

Kind regards ...
