Need a little help here. I hadn't played the game in real long time and recently reinstalled it again. I checked out the forums and decided to download all the different patches and whatnot. I had to uninstall the game considering I had already updated to patch 3, but for some odd reason when I tried to uninstall it pops up with this error message : C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\INSTAL~1\PROFES~1\RunTime\0701\Intel32\Ctor.dll
The specified module cannot be found.

The game runs just fine it just wont let me uninstall. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you remove it with add/remove programs from the contol panel?

Well, that's annoying. I guess you'll just have to delete the atari folder from c:\program files. Not the best solution, but it should get rid of just about everything but the shortcut.

Yes I had thought of that also, but when I delete it manually, it seems it's not completely removed from the registers or something like that, so the game still appears installed, which of course means I still can't reinstall it. I know theres a way to do it manually but I still haven't been able to figure it out. I think I'm missing some type of installation file or something...either way, I have no idea how this happened.

figured it out

I finally got it uninstalled. Since I had actually bought the game, I took the installation disc and explored it untill i found the setup wizard. Ran that from the disc and was able to uninstall it. I've never had to do anything like that before, but at least it worked. Anyways, thanks for trying to help me out Lord Plothos!
