Old version will not uninstall
Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2022 8:16 pm
Hello!
I had the old version of 'Gary Grigsby's World at War: A World Divided' installed and am trying to install the new version. When I went to install it, it said that it needs to uninstall the old version so I let that complete, then restarted the computer. When I go to install the new version, I still get a screen that the old version needs to be uninstalled. I click the 'Uninstall' button and nothing happens.
I tried going to Control Panel | Programs and Features and the game is no longer in my list of installed programs.
Tried deleting the install directory via File Manager.
After a restart of the computer, still get that same screen that says that an old version needs to be uninstalled.
What is the installer seeing that makes it think that the program is still installed? Are there some reg keys that I need to go after?
Thanks for your help!
