I messed up bad... PLEASE HELP

The Milkman · 04-25-14, 10:30 PM

I downloaded a copy of SH5 of ubisoft's website.

I messed something up screwing around with mods.

The game will not uninstall and theres no way for me to reinstall it.

Everytime I try to unistall it it goes through the process and says its finished but it never does.

Then I get a message saying windows explorer has stopped working.

Please, any help or advice on this would be so greatly appreciated...

Please help

Thanks guys

use system restore to go back before you installed it, that should fix it

Good advice Webster.

Thanks for the advice. I ended up just removing all the files to the recycling bin and cleaning the registry of the rest. Worked fine.

All that matters as far as the installer goes is the windows registry entry for the game, if you find and nuke that it will be as though the game never existed.
