Ages ago my brother installed rollercoaster Tycoon onto
my computer and I dont use it at all, now Im low on disk
space and I really want it off of my computer but
whenever I go to the Add/Remove Programs in my Control
Panel says that it's occupying 559MB so I click "Remove"
but it goes into a setup and my only option is to
install! Ive tried everything and cannot remove this
program from my computer. Does anyone know why?
 
Hi Kim,

It may have lost some of the uninstallation data. I would
click Install to rebuild that missing data and then uninstall it. :-)

Hi,

Delete the existing directory, empty your recycle bin, and
then install the game back into the same directory name you
just deleted. That should then allow you to properly remove
all entries and the game from your system! :-)
