Install Issues, Registry Entries?

[Bluemax41088]

I uninstalled Dawn of War a while ago, and I'm trying to reinstall it, but my computer tells me that it's already installed, and I can't install it until I uninstall it.

I'm thinking there might still be some registry entries that weren't taken care of by the uninstall. I think I've found the registry entries, although, I'm not sure if they're the ones I need to get rid of. Could somebody tell me which ones I should delete?

Whatever is in HKLM/Software/THQ is what you're looking for.

Just delete the folder under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/THQ/ called Dawn of War (or Dawn of War - Dark Crusade). Making sure you have your CDKeys stored if you have mislaid your manual.

I have the same problem, I tried to re-install it after it had been uninstalled.
It comes up saying 'play game' I clicked it but nothing happened, I browsed the disc and double clicked the install icon but it said it was already installed!

I'm confused with your answers...whats folders am I supposed to be looking in?

Or download TuneUp and search for registry entries.... ;P

Well I've downloaded TuneUp...Ran about every single cleaup program and optimization thing it had...but I still can't play because it still thinks it's installed!!!

Lonneybat: Kapyrna and Groundzero have both posted where in the registry you need to go to find the DoW keys to delete - go delete them and you will be able to install fine.

Um...I have no idea what a registry is so...

Click start>run and type in "regedit" then hit enter.

Only delete the folders related to the game, the registry is system critical.

Can someone tell me how to ADD the reg entries?

@ Bryn:

No other solution than re-install the game. Adding a reg-entity is more hassle than it's worth, just go through the install process again as it will be much simpler.
