You deleted the game files, but the registry entries are still there. The installer sees them and thinks the game is still on your hard drive. You need to delete them manually.

Go to Start Menu > Run > type in "regedit" without the quotes.

In Regedit, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> THQ, and delete the Dawn of War folders. The installer should now work correctly.
