Uninstalling/deleting previous version

Post by Ursa MAior »

Hi,

I was beta tester, and before installing the official game instead of properly uninstalling Rtw3 Beta (187 IIRC) I just deleted it before realizing the error. Neither undelete nor other solutions worked. I even tried CCCleaner. Still to no avail. Launcher/installer still does not work saying I must unisntall the previous version. I even deleted ALL files with Rule The Waves file name from my harddrive.

Pls help!

I've pointed a Matrix assistant to this thread. IIRC you may need to delete a registry value, but he would know for sure I think.

Download the file attached and unzip it.

Run the extracted file (RTW3_Reg_Cleaner.reg) for deleting the game Windows registry keys.
Then try to install the game.
