View Full Version : Original DOW Uninstaller Problems

I decided to uninstall Dawn of War, which had been patched up to 1.3 on XP Home. I notice when I go to control panel/add & remove programs, there are two instances of DOW, and both say that they haven't been modified for several months, even though I played it fairly regularly. One instance doesn't have an uninstall, the second runs through the uninstall but the button remains there, and only about half of the files in my THQ/Dawn of War folder were removed. Running the uninstall from the file in THQ/Dawn of War has the same result. And even so, when I put the CD into the drive, it says I can still play the game, even though it wouldn't work because all the file aren't there. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Delete the DoW folder, then click on start, select run, type regedit, hit enter.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\THQ and delete the Dawn of War folder.
