Cant uninstall reinstall SH3

rascal101 · 07-18-08, 05:42 AM

OK guys this is getting weird - Recently I bought a new copy of SH3, as my old disk was a bit beat up after over two years of play.

OK so I successfully installed the game, mercifully as its a new copy its already patched to 4.b. Then I installed Grey Wolves and that seemed to go ok and I had some fun, then NYGM3 came out so I thought to uninstall Grey Wolves and try NYGM.

Now here's where the fun started, I thought to try for a clean install of SH3 for NYGM, so I tried to uninstall SH3 via the usual, then to be on the safe side I also went into regedit and removed anything with Ubisoft or Silent Hunter from the registry.

So then I go to reintall and all I get is the option to remove, repair or uninstall, the uninstall didnt work becuase files were corrupted, the repair didnt work, same reason, and so I cant uninstall.

So then I went back into regedit to do some more spring cleaning, I then got the following message each time I tried to reinstall
'Error applying transforms verify that the specified transform path are valid'
Error:-1610 C:\windows\Installer{9720C029-OC2C-4DIE-9DEO-E89971C4C8C77-11033.mst}

So I tracked down {9720C029-OC2C-4DIE-9DEO-E89971C4C8C77-11033.mst} and removed it

Then I tried to reinstall again, now all I get is 'Error:- 1610 The Configuration data for this product is corrupt Contact your support personnel'

What is the point of having uninstall iof it doesnt uninstall the game!!!
This is a store bought, legitimate copy of the game about a week old and played about twice. Its in perfect condition!
Can any one help me?
