Serious Re-install issues

John W. Hamm · 04-14-07, 02:04 AM

I started from a clean install, update, and then apply mods I went to work.

First, I just could not get a uninstall to go. Kept on prompting me over and over with the Modify/Repair/Remove menu. Started digging on the support websites and followed their advice. Removed any traces of the SH3 program, cleaned the registry, did a defrag, and used the StarForce removal tool.

DVD will now proceed through a normal install, but at the VERY end, the InstallShield wizard gives a 'abnormal stop' message with no error code and reports that the system has not been modified and to retry the installation. then i get Publishing product information" and do you get the "The install wizard has been interupted..." message?

there was another post similar to this but sadly the link went nowhere

Keeps doing the same thing over and over... any ideas?
