How can i uninstall it? im trying to uninstall then reinstall to fix some file corruption.
I believe somewhere in the computer, there is a program (Sort of like an end tasks program) that lets you look at all of the programs installed on the computer and "remove" them, as in it uninstalls them through the computer. The directory for this I don't know though however, maybe someone can help?

Ummmm
Strange.... I found the uninstall straight forward. No problems.


I just uninstalled using the control panel, clicked silent hunter 5, clicked uninstall. Message popped up asking if I wanted to uninstall. I clicked yes. Another message popped up asking if I wanted to remove saved games & config files. I clicked yes.

It uninstalled.

I rebooted, checked folder... still there. I looked in folder... Had files from mods. So i dragged folder to recycle bin.

Rebooted. All files gone.

Reinstalled. No Problems.

Have you tried just deleting the folder???

Hey CptMatt,
I use this when some apps stubbornly refuse to take the hint that you want them gone
http://www.iobit.com/advanceduninstaller.html

and then just manually delete any folders that might get left behind.
