From what I can tell the game registers itself in the registry:
Code: Select all
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Matrix Games\Flashpoint Campaigns Southern Storm
This would be for a 64-bit OS. On a 32-bit (does anyone actually run those anymore???) it would likely be:
Code: Select all
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Matrix Games\Flashpoint Campaigns Southern Storm
For me it contains:
Code: Select all
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Matrix Games\Flashpoint Campaigns Southern Storm]
"authorized"="<serial>"
"version"="2.1.1.6839"
"installed"="TRUE"
"installed to"="f:\\Games\\Flashpoint Campaigns Southern Storm"
"installed from"="G:"
"ShortcutLocation"="Flashpoint Campaigns Southern Storm"
"LANG"="EN"
"LANGUAGE_INSTALLED"="9"
It also places some files in:
Code: Select all
Documents\My Games\Flashpoint Campaigns Southern Storm\Launcher
I guess this is why you shouldn't use 3rd-party uninstaller programs
But yeah, I use those myself, just make sure they do a good job!
(I use a paid version of Uninstall Tool)

I'm back. Been sick the past few days. As Jeff noted on Discord, we do not want to tell folks how to edit the windows registry. We also strongly recommend using the default uninstaller over a third-party package. I"m glad you are fixed and running again.
